Will B:
That’s looking really nice Pat. Best of luck with it the rest of the way.
superdav95:
I love your side clamps. I’ll have to try those
Pat B:
Thanks, Will.
Dave, the Jorgenson clamp, and some "C" clamps clamped to the form works well when driving a wedge to move the limb over. I use them quite often.
this is the first limb after removing it from the form...
Here are the pics of the other limb. This limb was relatively straight. I only had to get the tip aligned...
Pat B:
After straightening out the tips...
I did a bit more on this limb to get the mid limb in line.
Here is a profile shot after the straightening session...
...next...on a short long string here she is at 13"(45#)...
..the right limb has a hoopti-doo about 4" out from the handle giving a visible appearance of a hinge.
...next pic at 16"(47#)
...as you can see I still need to get both limbs bending evenly and together but I still have about 16# to reduce.
I'm shooting for 45#@23-25#. She will be sinew backed so I think I can possibly get to 25".
