LOL!! :D didn't you hear? your the reason we had to make up these rules!!!! :D
Good to see here Brian. Even though I think you enjoyed stirring the pot a bit too much at times, more often then not I found myself grinning and snickering at some of your posts and I certainly never had to guess how you felt about something :)
Marc's just grumpy from all that cold and snow up there :) I wouldn't count on Pat. He's a mini dictator in the making, "all hail Pat, the supreme moderator!"

Nobody said God wasn't allowed, just asked us not to discuss religion. ;) A lot of us are religious, this is just a place to discuss Primitive Archery, not religion. Justin
-
Well said Justin! Elwin, If you have any primitive archery related subjects you want to discuss, please join in. We are all ears...with a little mouth added in. LOL Pat

Marvin, I assume your message to me regarding the new rules about the message board concern my announcing the Primitive Skills and Flintknapping get together in north Georgia. This is a great event to see primitive skills demonstrated; there is no commercial message in this announcement whatever. I trust you understand that this had every reason to be announced as being very pertinent to primitive archery. I myself will be demonstrating primitive bowmaking. Tim Flood will be demonstrating primitive arrow making and many of the best flintknappers in the country will be there.

DirtyDan, it wasn't me. I don't know anything about it.
Email me directly to discuss it and I will try and get things straightened out for you.
-
Gee, and here I thoought archery WAS a religion - just like fishing!
-
hey quick question from the new bowyer in town.... how many of you have wives or husbands .... depending on your gender position.... that are into bowyering s much as you are...? ???
-
So this preacher walks into the bowmakers bar..... :D
-
Hey no Religion or Politics is fine by me. I have to assume (I am really new at this so please forgive) FG means fiberglass. I hope I am not hitting the bottom with my first couple post but I had to ask.
-
rules are good, they provide a structure, without a structure things fall apart.
what about ER !! epoxy resin, and if it holds your bow together?, I guess then it's not primitve???
-
Dragonman, We're not that nit-picky. Glues hold all wood laminations together. What everybody is getting at is paper thin wood Lams that are held together by actual working fibre-glass lam's. Not the epoxy glues , but the woven glass, carbon fibre limbs , etc.
-
are we allowed to talk about drywall tape for backings(it is fiberglass), its cheap and easy to use and we should be allowed
-
Youngbowyer I don't think anyone will give ya a hard time for using it but there are better alternatives
and they look better also :) Might I suggest silk or linen, light weight denim, even brown paper bag material. Use Titebond 2 or 3
to glue it down then you can paint it to look nice. Good luck in your adventure eh :)
-
Making Bows and Arrows is a Religion for me as well as for some of us in here!!!
CHEERS!!!
-
I don't know of any church that would allow you to discuss Primitive bows with the preacher during services. O:)
But then again I haven't been to church in a while, it cuts into my bow building time. ;D
