Accidents happen fast, biggest reason I sold my jointer.

Those tools are dangerous..

I had one of these DoAll band saw with 36"deep cut, it can use all 3 (edit wheels) rollers or just 2 rollers for a 20" cut, I always used the long blade around all 3 rollers and did not know where the blade guard (---->) was. I cut my jacket above my elbow with a short wood blade. I had been use this band saw and others for 28 years when this happened

No blood

I use to weld my blades too.

I had band saw blade 100' long.
You cut, grind, butt weld, and clean up the weld with this machine

Do-All's are the heat. We've had one at each of the six shops I've been to. Great for detailed sheet metal cutting.

Dave, since I know you have stuff going on on a quick howdy or comment on something works for checking in. The main intention there is to keep people engaged so it isn't forgotten until April.

Fresh out of the form, I like the deflex she has.

Have riser cut out, walnut core and semi curly maple belly and tip overlays on and in the hot box.

Replaced bench paper..

I spent some time in the shop this afternoon working on some options for my swap bow. What do you all think of these?
The top one is hard maple with some interesting greenish streaking in it. It’s actually pallet wood, but it’s sound. I thought it looks cool. The small piece below it is cherry for a potential footing. I was thinking of a cherry core lam for it.
The middle one is osage with a walnut footing. I have osage and hickory core lams that can go with it.
The bottom one is a simple osage riser, no embellishments.
I also have some other woods if these don’t do anything for you. 😊
Dave.

All three look good. kinda depends on what the limbs will look like. Veneers? colored glass?

Bamboo back and belly. Hardwood core.

I like the top one.

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #351 on:** February 13, 2021, 09:06:16 PM »

All good middle a bit better.

I vote for the middle one too

skeaterbait · « **Reply #353 on:** February 13, 2021, 10:15:47 PM »

I gotta go for the top one. As much as I love some accent wood, natural wood (God's way) always appeals to me more.

Got a start on my victims bow today,

Longcruise · « **Reply #355 on:** February 13, 2021, 10:44:40 PM »

I like the osage.

Going to try to glue up a BBO today. I’ve got to finish putting a hot box together first. The last time I made one, I was using urac and didn’t need as much heat. I’m going to use ea40 on this one, so I’m going to try to get it close to 150*, if I can.
The other bow I’ve been working on is pretty much tillered out to full draw, I’m just not all that happy with it. So I’m going to give myself at least another option or two.

I like the maple handle.

Caleb

NO NO NO..... STOP

You don't need 150 degrees for a BBO bow, on top of that 150 degrees will dry the crap out of the boo and Osage and probably crack the boo .

80 degrees is plenty hot enough to dry the EA40...

EA40 will dry in 24 hours at room temp of 70 degrees.

Hey Royster... You know your chit...

But you don't know...

whisper-whisper: You don't dry EA-40... You cure it...

Just trying to keep the tech boys off yah...
