2024 Bow Swap Progress Thread - Open

[Jon Lipovac]

Kenny,

If you are wondering about this section. It’s simply not needed and it keeps the end of the hose from sticking up unnecessarily high and close to the light bulbs.

Max:

I always have the fire hose on the belly of the bow.

Thank you!  I get that, pressure pushes the limb on to the form radius rather than in to it.  I think you’re right, that likely would be better.  This limb shape is a copy of a TD limb I’ve been building for about a dozen bows, and I only had an issue once with some tiny air bubbles at the start of the radius.  So that may have been the cause.  If it happens again, I’ll look into flipping it.
Regards,

Gotcha!!

Making a trilam DR. Ipe belly, Purpleheart center,  Merbau powerlam and Hickory backing. Lots of clamps.

[Buemaker]

Because of springclamps I cannot get it into the heat box, so placing it on top with lid off and cover with blanket and sheep skins I have a long nuclear heating element in the bottom of box so heat rises. I use only mild heat so have not been necessary to call the fire department yet.
