just bought myself a techniglue kit off ebay (250 ml hardener, 500 ml resin) for $58. Just want to know whether this is a standard price or I've been ripped off?

not sure but its more for smooth on, factoring in shipping, but its 2 pints.

you @#$%^ sadist!!! What evil plan have you got in store for those?

I do have some suitable shafts but for some reason cant pm you.

I have POC shafts, nocks and points but they are all 50# - 55# and up, and mainly 23/64, which probably won't suit.

Where abouts are you?

Check out John Mcdonald AMSo 128 . He is an absolute gentleman and I am sure he could point you in the right direction. He probably has a suitable bow in stock.

I consulted latest info on weather site and that allied with the non stop rain we were experiencing less than 90 k's from Lakeside and decided it would be a wipe out. I might have been wrong and am annoyed that i missed the shoot but one can only go with what is at hand.I have bad memories of being ...

grey beard has posted several posts on building an all wood recurve, and a nice one at that. alternatively have a look at Sam Harper's site I think its called poor folk bows. He has a terrific 'build along on there for a recurve.Good luck and you will find plenty of help on here anyway.

due to an extreme aversion to my body coming into contact with both wet and cold simultaneously I have sooked out and refrained from attending.Along with the postponed chevallan shoot at end of month that is 3 trad shoots that have gone under, I am experiencing bad withdrawal symptoms.

thanks Ben, but heap of curses, money and tantrums before this lot came to fruition!!. Still a lottery every time I try it too.

thanks Rob! yeah got one to make soon for a customer who wants to use it hunting but still likes a bit of 'bling' so might have to tone it back with the satin as you say.That gloss will reflect for miles!

Love to be there but no chance unfortunately. I'l be thinking of him anyhow.

thanks Chris.

should be there weather permitting.

first second and fourth shots do look like aged osage.

What an ingenious young fellow you are ! For one so young you sure are advancing your creative skills. Well done Joe.

Couple of shots Kerry, one unstrung and one strung.. although it has the classic 'D' shape when strung, there is the smallest amount of reflex visible near the tip on the back of bow. under ABA rules it becomes a 'modern' longbow meaning red peg for those familiar

sure kerry,will take some shots today and post them later.

Thanks Sabinus and Col! This finish has been along experimental road with heaps of grief,and a lot of money but starting to get it worked out. Col, the' curve sure does have a bit of punch to it, really like its performance.the static tip is just that it moves very little when under load compared to...

just finished my first foray into static tip curves and very happy with the way this bow came out and performs.The other bow is a Deflex/reflex which is available and is 44# @ 28''.the 'curve is 55# @ 28''and 58'' NTN.Pm if interested in the deflex/relex.

Out of sheer necessity at times I have footed broken ones too. All I did was make a 4'' cut in shaft centrally on bandsaw,and then having another shorter section to be joined,facing one end on my 12''disc sander on each side so it formed a wedge shape relevant to length of cut on shaft .Taping the s...

Nice bow! Cypress looks good I have a little CTP but certainly not in the dimensions needed for a bow of that nature.Using it mainly as accent pieces'though been reliably informed it makes a fast longbow used as laminations.

Very clean and stylish,like it!

nice work Col.that's why I don't make my own arrow shafts ,too time consuming!

sabinus,I think its because he has such an unusual business name ie, amso 128.that people put it there to direct them them to him.

What?!!Production line longbows!!Heh heh lol Look the goods Colin.

appreciated Kerry thanks.

i would also check out John Mcdonald[amso 128] here in Aus first as he might be able to help.Not sure.

looks pretty schmick to me!
