You are all way ahead of me.   Just got the steel pins into the topless trade bow form.   I used 3/8 rod instead of oak this time.  These are handling 60# no problem.   Also a chance to do a  pressure  check on the hose.

Thanks guys.   It's been warm for a couple days and will remain so for a couple more.   Time to start on the riser block.

I saw my first robin a week ago, but we’re still getting that Alaska air.

Was 23 degrees here yesterday morning, going to be in the 60's next couple days.
Yee Haw....
My new belt/disc sander is to be delivered today, feel like a kid at Xmas.

Will make shaping risers so much easier than using the edge sander.

Could save some finger nails and skin on the hands too.

Well, it appears I am really going to have to work for this bow to happen. First it was no heat in the shop, frozen EA40, no riser wood. The weather is better, got my adhesive and riser wood.

Now the conveyer motor burned up on the drum sander so I can't make lams, so it will be another visit to Kenny soon.

Let's hope I get past this hurdle quickly and it's the last.
