Got most of the machining done for another ILF riser. This time I am leaving some wood on the sides. Shaping is next. Still have to drill and tap for the dovetail adjusters.

Do you machine your own ilf fittings?

[Appalachian Hillbilly]

No, those came from 3 Rivers. I just simply do not have time to make them! If I had CNC, it would be a lot faster.

I'd like to see how you do the plate adjusters.

Longhcruise. I drill in from the side with the mill and tap for I believe it is 6-32.  Fill the hole with super glue before tapping, and redrill and tap after it dries.

The super glue soaks into the wood and stabilizes it. I use an extra long set screw. From my tests, it will round the Allen wrench out before pulling threads using the long set screws.

They make a brass insert but do not want to do that just yet.

We will see how they hold up.

Thanks, I like the SG solution based on what you say about it.  Should be less wood disturbed that way.  Does 3 rivers still have the plates?  Maybe Lancaster?

Dovetails in stock at 3 rivers. https://www.3riversarchery.com/ilf-aluminum-dovetail-shoe-set.html

The set i want at Lancaster when they come back in stock. https://lancasterarchery.com/products/tradtech-brass-ilf-riser-hardware

Hardware is half the price at Lancaster vs 3 Rivers.  https://lancasterarchery.com/products/tradtech-ilf-limb-bolt-kit

Hope to finish the riser this week and start the limbs. Just gonna use some limbs I have untill I get a set made. I picked up the rest of my limb supplies today, more EA40, some clear glass. Just got to figure out my lam stack . Plan on starting low weight and going up.

[Longcruise]

Thanks and keep us posted.

[mmattockx]

I'm interested in the ILF riser work as well. Maybe start a new thread to capture it all as you go?

I will start a new thread on how I do it. May help someone else.

[OldRawhide42]

It would help me. I am still learning how to use my end mill.

Just spent five hours dealing with my wife's identity being used to file a fraudulent unemployment claim.  What a PITA.
