Ozbow

Nice one Rich 8) . The 3 mm vertical boo wall panels would reduce the tooling and time in making a laminated bow for sure. The carbonised finish is very dark (looks nice), I wonder if it effects epoxy bond strength. Have you given it a "stress" test? Thanks for the link. Cheers......... R...

I can't understand why LULzSec would hack TBGA? They usually go after Govt agencies, or Corporations that they have decided are behaving in an unethical manner. Perhaps the server that hosts TBGA displeased them somehow. Either way, still a mighty irresponsible and nasty thing to do. I dont think i...

It's interesting to note that this attack was extremely destructive.
Most datathieves strike and dissapear without doing much damage. Why would they bother? They got what they wanted.

If I was investigating this, I would start with a list of disgruntled employee's and clients.

The hosting company has been the target of an attack.

If you google "Distribute IT" you can get updates or you can look at the blog they keep updated - http://distributeitsupport.blogspot.com/

It's going to be interesting to see what you turn them into Steve.

Hi Mate,

M. Hogan's link points to a flemish string jig. BMB-Mal's link is very likely what you are after though.

Personally I use a flemish on both my longbows and recurve.

Cheers,

Rich.

edit: Coach was right.. Like normal :D :lol: Don't let his missus catch you using language like that! i have no shed to work in Is there a local Men's Shed? I'm a member of my local one - it has all the tools and old-timers to show you how to use them! a builders house is never built, a mechanics c...

a decent beginner bow is what i'm after till i build up the strenght for something heavier this is another i found http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Take-down-longbow-Urban-longbows_W0QQitemZ180419249647QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Archery?hash=item2a01d345ef&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 tnx for the patience and every a...

Go and buy a couple of meters of Theraband from a physio, double it up and you'll get 60# triple it for 90#. That will build you up quick (works for the Koreans). :mrgreen: +1 Get the Grey Theraband, it's the heaviest. The plus is that you can carry it in your workbag/briefcase. I use mine at work ...

Thanks for the pics Steve.

And Congratulations!

Good on ya Steve! Good luck with the second!

Hi Mate,

IIRC it's about 36 hours to cure at 20 degrees for techniglue. An idea that I cannot take credit for is to bung it in your car during a sunny day, that would speed up your curing.

Cheers,

Richard.

I suspect you'll be pretty happy with the results, but there may be some tweaking you want to do. To be on the safe side, try getting a test shaft in spines above and below the one you work-out. Thank you Ben! I'll give that a shot. I was going to get a range of spines to test I just needed that st...

Hi Ben,

Yep! Absolutely I would like to shoot timber arrows. Sorry I didn't make that clear before. Any hints you can give would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Folks, Well, I finally finished my longbow. It's come in at about 51@28" which is where I wanted it to be. I've even made up a flemish twist dacron string for it. A big thank you goes to Steve for all his help with this project. I've now got the go-ahead from the Minister of War and Finance ...

It's a hatchet hammer...

I dont know where they are in Aus, but you can get them online

:shock: Geez!! I've never seen anything like that before! EVER! Mind you, I'm not as old as you guys yet :lol: jokes. But seriously, how do you get dust storms? Ive never heard of them. :? Is it purely due to a lack of rain? Thanks, Ben It was the floods from QLD that dumped their dust in SA. It wa...

It feels like I'm on Mars with the redness.

Something interesting I noted was that the birds didn't start singing until an hour after their usual time this morning.

I have a feeling that 145gn tips are about to become more popular following the release of the Outback Traditional broadhead.

I currently use the ratcheted cardboard mentioned earlier. This has lasted me about 6 months of smashing heavy field tips from my *ahem* compound *cough* into it. It's on it's last legs now, I finally had a passthrough and smashed the arrow against a wall. I plan on trying an box with one side very ...

Thank you Bill.

Good luck and a speedy recovery mate!

Richard.

Hi Bill, It's not surgery, but I came off mt bicycle a few years back and badly mauled my shoulder and elbow on my bow arm. One of the things I had to suffer was the pinching pain. It took about 3 months for me to get back to drawing a bow properly but I made sure I got my physio's go ahead first. P...

When you say that it makes me think of Newcastle...

Congratulations Tracker for both Hat and Bow. Both designed for broadheads?

Like Steve says, Arthur does make a nice bow.

IIRC you have about even tiller for 3 under and about 1/8" - 3/8" for split. I'll see if I can find where I read that. I think that's for longbow, I'm not too sure if it applies to recurve.

I've only just been introduced to three under and I'm finding it suits me.

For city dwellers who don't know any body out bush its the softer easier practical way to get out there . Very true. When you first start out and don't know anyone with a property it can be hard. When I first got bitten by the hunting bug, I had to stamp on it. This was before state forest were ope...

I once fell into a patch at Fraser Island. I thought I repressed that memory...

It's not just the big thorns that get you, they have tiny hairlike ones that are a bugger to remove.

It looks like an old 043 plough plane used to make grooves for drawers and window panes etc.

I found a manual for it too... The things you find on the Internet eh?

Rich.

I was chatting to a bloke at my club yesterday who attended and he had nothing but good to say about the course. He said he learned alot and had fun doing it. Learning + fun = success. I'd love to see these appear far more often. (Hopefully with a Sydney based one for a city-based family man who doe...

I got my cardboard free from the local supermarket, they were just going to much the boxes.




Cheers,

Rich.
