The birth of my first Takedown!

[Carpdaddy]

Not done yet, but I’m sure making the dust fly!

I know exactly what you found in the bolt hole!! Remember the shop washers of phenolic that I made so as not to scratch your brass bezels? They were thicker and some epoxy got on the end of the double thread inserts. With the thinner brass bezels you ran the bolt into the glue! Sorry, I never used the nice ones or I'd have fixed that for you...

[kennym]

Oh, and I have very nice legs! One has about 40" of scars on it but good conversation starter...

[Carpdaddy]

You wuz just trying to challenge me Kenny. just remember that I don’t have all those fancy tools to work with, but I got-er-done!
I sure was tickled to see how well everything lined up, you did good ole boy.

[kennym]

I take some care on the line up, if the center of the tips don't line up with center of riser, you have built in problems from the start...

[stumper]

I want one now

[Carpdaddy]

I want one now

Check on his site and pick one, we need another build going soon as this one is done, keep that feller busy, good learning experience finishing one also.

[stumper]

I would but I just ordered a bow...

[Captainkirk]

I would but I just ordered a bow...

Meh, so order another one. You're a young buck...you got plenty of time to figure out how to pay for it.

Got to sand some more tonight, still have a long way to go in shaping, then to get all the file marks out. But curiosity got to me and I decided to use a little fine sandpaper to get a better view of what it will look like. Even used some steel wool on the shelf side, not as much on the other, but gives an idea...
