Hi Brainbruise, The project is looking good so far. :D How thick are the laminations and how wide will the limbs at maximum and also their length? Please keep us Aussies updated on your progress. Hope all goes well, Daryl. (It is amazing how a little Guinness improves ones perceptions, I love the st...

It Works! (Takedown Longbow Finished)
After completing the last of six workshops I managed to finish the take down longbow. Reducing the draw weight to a comfortable 50# was achieved by re profiling the plan of the limbs and a gentle trapezoid from the back to belly. To make life easier and to preserve my body parts (although I did some...

Hi, At one of our previous traditional shoots (in the speed round) an archer loosed seven arrows in thirty seconds. The round consisted of five 3D targets placed at varying distances. One arrow to be shot at each target and if you had remaining time you could continue shooting at the target of your ...

Hi Daniel, From the figures you have given I think the bow will be way over built. You must remember that when using bamboo on a bow the diameter of the pole will have a bearing on the height of the crown of the bamboo in relation of the width of the limbs. A limb width of 30mm at the fadeouts and 1...

Daniel, I am a little unsure of the way in which you are constructing the bow. From your previous post it looks like you are using a butt joint of the laminations on the handle. Some factors that determine the finished product are the length of the bow, width of the limbs at the fadeouts and string ...

Hi Daniel, Making laminations can be a real pain, particularly if you do not have suitable equipment to produce them. If you have access to a half decent bandsaw through friends, relatives etc this may be a start. Alternatively check the yellow pages as there are businesses that have fully equipped ...

Hi Daniel, Regarding the electric planer or thicknesser both are less useful than an ashtray on a motorbike or a shirt without a pocket. If you are looking at milled boards 19mm thick and want to reduce them to say 2mm unless you can reduce them through a saw first you will have 17mm going out as sh...
