First post in a LONG time.

Nice work mate. 'The proof is in the pudding' as they say, so I hope it is working well for you.

Steve

Wow, was that three years ago.

It has probably been that many years since I posted here too.

A lot of water under the bridge since then.

Steve

Oh... one question.

Are you working to a pattern, historical or other wise, or have you designed this one yourself?

Steve

Hi Dave, glad your not dead

I used to spend a bit of time in the Medieval Reinactment circle and have not seen too many sets of armour of this size. Chasing out all that fluting would require a steady hand and an exceptionally large measure of patience.

I'm impressed.

Steve

What a great story. Thanks for sharing it.

I think that somehow when a woman can present the facts of ethical hunting it gives the idea so much more credibility than a young man can achieve. What do others think of this idea?

Steve

Well done Jeff, you got Moreton praying! That is the best news so far.

Steve

Don't worry Jeff. It is just a computer. It is not as though anyone died!

Information is not lost, it just may need to be shared again.

Well done on having the fore sight to make another backup.

Steve

Can't think of a comment, every time I scroll up to check the validity of someone's post I just crack up laughing.

Really? bugger - the only reason I did it is because I read it prevents string follow once it is fully tillered :( There are a lot of ideas out there... Every try finding North using a shadow stick. It is in every survival book under the sun and explained again on probably hundreds of websites as a...

Yes please Dave.

I haven't seen you post for so long. I thought you were dead , or had maybe found other things to do.

Maybe Telsta is SCAMMING all of us!

Steve

Darryl, I am perplexed why this gets placed in the humour category

Very funny,

Steve

Jeff, I think it is such a shame that we are quickly learning not to trust anyone. Scamming is wrong and always will be. I feel sorry for the people that are scammed in Australia, but also for those in poor countries that are scammed into becoming scammers for their wealthy bosses. It is no differen...

Thanks Tony :wink: Darren, I understand that your phone is important in your work, and that no one likes being bothered when you have just got the kids in bed and sat down for the evening with your wife. I don't think that it is possible for the person on the other end to choose the most annoying ti...

Mick, I had a similar stalemate with the NAB a short while ago. The wanted to 'verify' who I was before they would deal with me about my account. The usual date of birth, address, account number, credit limit, mothers maiden name... I told them that before I would provide any information that I woul...

I might chime in here. I never promise money or give details to anyone over the phone - Bushfire Brigade, SES, VRA or whoever because you never know for real who it is. Scammers living in Australia are the scum of the Earth. We have a government that can give people financial support so they don't h...

I hope it is not too late to offer my congratulations also. You have done an absolute cracker of a job. Well done mate.

Steve

I have used black wattle for two very successful bows. You could decrown the stave if the tree had a small diameter. My tree was around 200mm diameter so the back was as good as flat anyway. You can see in the picture that the back is virtually flat. The stave here is clamped on a form for steam ben...

I guess that means the price is set at $1215 then. Would you be happy with that price Daryl? Seriously though, it is a fine effort. Any all timber bow, self or laminated, takes a high degree of skill to accomplish and I take my hat of to you. To add to the knowledge pool, my daughters first bow whic...

Looks great Daryl. $15 bucks hey. I'll offer you $20 and you can call that a profit

Well done mate.

Steve

Jesse,

Welcome to the site. I found a warm welcome a few years ago and have decided that it is worth sticking around also.

I don't know if you made a post to introduce yourself. Why not tell us a bit about what you do?

Steve

Now I see it. Very nice Craig. Looks like a good bit of kit for the price.

Steve

Congratulations Kev! Judging by the photos on the link from Grahame (thanks!) you will need a caddy or a small donkey to help you around. The scenery looks beautiful. Don't slip and make a divot in the turf. It looks like they have a gardener for each of the paddocks to keep things up to scratch and...

Craig,

Can't have a look at work because the content filter blocks the site. They say it has something to do with terrorism. Your backpack doesn't come with a free AK-47 does it?

Steve

This is truly a shameful situation. I think that in addition to pointing the finger at the decision makers concerned, the media should take its fare share of the blame. Politicians would feel less pressure to guard their backs from criticism if the media if a fair and reasonable account was given to...

Seems like a good experiment. I'll be keeping my ear to the ground on this one.

I agree with Steve, in that the limb is working pretty hard in the fades. You could narrow the limb too and drop the weight in the outer third. It seems overbuilt there anyway.

Steve

I use indian pigment ink and an post office nib pen. I write on the glass after sanding before the finish goes on.

Steve

Those little dragon flies have ultra fast reflexes. Some arrows pass them by, but sometimes they see them coming!

Steve

Axel, has she broken all your limbs?

Wow
