Hey, Pat B
None taken!! My work space is also quite small, so I have to kind of keep it a bit tidy, otherwise I'm tripping over myself! Yes, a bandsaw, belt sander, table saw, etc., have all become part of the arsenal of power tools. It saves time... and I'm a weekend, hobby bowyer. However, when the rubber hits the road, and the wood starts to bend, it's hand tools only. More of that to come over the next few weeks!

Your sense of purpose and your precision is impressive. This is going to be way too much fun to watch!

So... the glue-up has been curing on the form for 24hrs. I've unwrapped it, and taken it off the form. Now, I am able to remove the packing tape off the face off the form, eliminating the glue run-off.
I think it was a bit hard to see the packing tape, on the form, in the initial pics.

The glue line looks really good. You can see there is no glue starving at the line.

Here is the glue-up, warts and all! The board is 68", and the hickory backings are all cut at 72", so the backing sticks out each end a bit. Next step will be drawing out the bow's profile, on back and sides. Hopefully, tomorrow after work!
