That was a quilt a buddy of mine put together for me about 10 years ago that  i was using as a table cover at Etar. I shipped about 18 bows to that event in 2012. That is a HUGE event....

Unfortunately i can't afford all the travel and setting up displays at events anymore, and my in stock bows never last long before finding a home for them. I don't have any to display right now.  Kirk

Thank you for pictures.I think I will use what I have. I am sure what you use now with two pins and a slightly large bolt hole works excellent.

Yup.... Works for me. No muss, no fuss with special hardware on my std TD bows any more. ILF set ups are a different story. i had some custom plates milled from aluminum that i use for those.   

If anyone is interested in some of this hardware i'll sell them for $25 a set. Screws and pins not included.

Here’s the crane I put in my truck.


No more heavy lifting for this old coot. 😁

I’ve also been working on a little table to go with my new chair.

Like the crane :thumbsup: I was thinking about a portable, take down gantry with pneumatic wheels for uneven terrain? Probably make one out of 2x material :dunno:

Thats a cool table Dave, looks cantilevered  :thumbsup:
Ooo, who, who hangs free

I thought about a gantry as well, but I wanted something that’s always with me.  You never know when you’ll come across a good log. This crane folds down and it’s completely under the tonneau cover when it’s not needed.
You mentioned pneumatic wheels for a gantry. They could make it unstable. Solid wheels are safer.
My table is made from walnut that my buddy and I sawed on our mill. We have a pile of it to get through still. I’m thinking of making some tables for sale.

I could have used a crane like that on a deer I hit with my truck a couple years ago. I had a monster buck jump in front of me traveling at about 60 mph. Luckily he was low enough , and my truck high enough that when contact was made he didn’t come through the windshield. Took most the impact on the bumper.

There was a state police officer that saw the whole thing, and came over to check on me…. When I asked him if he’d help me load up the deer in the back of the truck he just laughed at me, and said, Ya… right… and left me standing there…

I couldn’t very well field dress this big animal in the ditch to lighten the load, and had to wrestle it into the bed guts , feathers, and all. I’d guess it was a good 250 pounds. Didn’t think I was going to get it in there, but I did somehow… that crane would have made it much easier.

Cool looking table.

Thats a great idea Buemaker :thumbsup: I imagine the block keeps things square.

A running thread of homemade jigs and tools would be cool :thumbsup:

I'm sure that is a very useful tool, but being dense i need some clarification on how it works.

Bue, you always make super nice and functional tools. The stuff I make works but looks like crap compared to your stuff.
