Wow, this has been quite an adventure, Dave!
Aim small, miss small!

Yes... and it's not over. Very much looking like I will have to use heat and bend it. Looking for scraps of wood to design a jig. Will need bunch of cheap clamps from harbor freight. I have some ideas.

Get back to town on Wednesday night and will hopefully put the workbenches my wife bought me for fathers day together. Hopefully I will get it setup and get back to working on this bow. It has a wood to wood vice that will be perfect to help me with this project.

Sounds line a great gift. Can’t wait to see it in action.

Your gaining knowledge with every setback and have come a long way in that area. But I have warned many of the danger of bow wood dust, once it gets in your lungs you are addicted, she just as well get you some bow tools, this is not going away! You have good leverage, when you are whittling on the kitchen floor, and mounting to the table, she will probably buy you anything to get you outside! You da man!

I wish when I was younger that (this list could be endless) that I'd applied myself more to playing the piano instead of wanting to go outside and play ball with the other kids.

Jesus replaces the old covenant and speaks to the believer the moral code of God by His Spirit directly to the heart. He is the eternal, everlasting revelation of God to mankind. In Him is both the knowledge of righteousness and the power to live right.
