Title: Free Bow Building Equipment
Post by: Roy from Pa on October 19, 2023, 09:55:46 AM
Anyone in or around the SW Pennsylvania area looking to get into building bows?
Friend of mine is moving and giving away all his equipment.
Heat box, steamer, and assorted hand tools.

Wow that's an awesome opportunity.  I'm two years in and have built up quite the second hand workshop so I'll allow these to pass along.  I hope someone who's been thinking about cutting their teeth gets to see this, this is exciting.

I have a hot box to a guy from midwest PA..I'll look for his number. He said that he wants to get into it but wasn't super ready to spend for it yet.

Good on your friend, keeping the tradition alive, passing it along!

I'm in the way southern part of NEPA. And I'm very interested. I'm going to start building bows after archery season.
