2023 What did you do today....

[Buemaker]

Z splicing Osage from Rainman.

[Longcruise]

Working on a  few risers.  Bow building "season" has finally arrived. 😀

Cruise, is the table and drum exactly 90 degrees on that sander?

[Roy from Pa]

Neat Z splicing Bue..

Cruise, is the table and drum exactly 90 degrees on that sander?

It's adjustable and needs to be monitored carefully with every use.  I'd like to have fancier tools but just don't have room for them.

I completely wore out two of those ridged sanders before buying my 80" edge sander and spindle sander....and.... I built a lot of bows with em too....they work just fine.....

but.... After you get a big edge sander you won't believe the difference. I can't imagine being without it now....... It will come in time...

[Kirkll]

Well today I had one repair project after another. Our oil furnace went down and I had to tear into that first... I found the problem rather quickly fortunately. I hit it on the first you tube video too... Wow! That's gotta be a record. So I got the part on order, and fired up the wood stove. Of course the freezing level is dropping the next few days.... It figures.... Right?

[Buemaker]

Cleaned up recurve limbs and checking for squareness. From belly black BoTuff, parallel hard maple, Jatoba wedge, stabil kore, taper action boo,Waterfall Bubinga veneer and Bjorn clear glass.

I noticed you have a wood floor in your shop. Is that hickory flooring?   Kirk

[Buemaker]

It is Pine flooring. Can't find Hickory over here since they were making wooden skies. The little I have is from an old ski factory that shut down 50 years ago. The owner had some saved, lucky for me. Sure wish I could go to a wood store and pick out a nice straight Hickory board.

[Appalachian Hillbilly]

I have that same Ridgid sander and also bought a WEN spindle sander from Amazon. The ridgid was not square but the WEN was.  No matter what I tried, could not get the Ridgid square as it went up and down. The WEN is also easy to make into a Non-oscilating sander out of.

[Jon Lipovac]

Something about curly maple. When I see a stunning piece or two, I have to have it whether I need it soon or not.

[Jeff Freeman]

Pretty maple Jon

I finished a few turkey trumpets and strikers for the guys at turkey camp.

[Buemaker]

Me think nice color combo. Osage, Purpleheart, Jatoba power lam and Hickory.

[Buemaker]

Nice turkey trumpets. What are strikers for? No wild turkeys over here.
