Minuteman:
Heres one of two or three I'm building to haul down to the Classic in Tennesee. One I'll keep and I'll sell or trade the others. Couldn't find the magazine I got the original plans from this morning at 8AM. Started into it just by memory and it turned out ok.I was doen by 11AM. A little smaller than the original ones I built for Mojam last year but it functions quite well. What would you pay for somethig like this/ Its all reclaimed deck framing, by the way, old deck was removed and I got the demo-ed material .

I better try one of those suckers out at the Classic for you. You NEED to know how they work. I think you need to add leather or something to the clamp head and deck to stop the bow from sliding. Look at Pats. Justin
Pat B:
I did pad the jaws with leather and it does help the grip. The rectangular pieces on the draw horse are crepe rubber I use for spacers for different thickness of the stock or stave.
Chris, Our designs look similar. You must of got that from an old PA magazine. Pat
Auggie:
Hey,that better than mine, now Ill hafta decide to build or buy!
Minuteman:
Actually Pat, I got it from a fairly new magazine. Its initials are"B"owyer's "J"ournal. ;) I also forgot the horizontal bar that extends the foot pedal along so its more under the seat part. Retro fitted the one in the pic yesterday. Got to put the head on the second one today and see how far I get with the third.
Yeah, I was debating on what to put on the head. I have leather and also some chipped rubber mat thats 1/8" thick.I thought maybe alittle of the rubber under the leather would work pretty well.
Justin' yer welcome to put one through its paces if you need someplace to hold a bow while yer workin' on it. :)
I got three hours roughly in each one of em so I'm thinkin 75$. Or a cool trade!
Auggie I'll see if I can find the magazine it was in and you can buy that back issue and have the plans for the larger original if ya want.
