This is nothing. Just wait until Badger starts to teach the mass principle to all people here.

He already did. We were advanced students though.

I think he did already, way back on page one??  Or in TBB4... ;)

And by the way Steve, really liked that chapter in the book.  A great real world application of engineering for fine tuning bows.

Frankly I don't think that many people here understand the principle. Some just use it; most don't even use it, but at best make Badger apply it for them. All I'm trying to do is to make it understandable to dummies.

I think Steve is starting to feel the same way.

PatM, do you believe that Badger thinks he already fully comprehends all the ramifications of the mass principle?

scp... question for yah? How many bows have you made? You argue like you're an advanced and expert bowyer. What level of experience do you actually possess?

Not at all and he has admitted as much and on many occasions mentioned his pursuit of greater understanding.

It would be extremely difficult to incorporate the heat treatment into the mass principle, mainly because it does not work the same way for all kinds of wood.

scp... I asked you a question. I'm not being sarcastic. I'm genuinely interested.

I majored in the philosophy of science several decades ago. I made several dozen selfbows and several of them are as shootable as the two cheap fiberglass bows I have.

Pretty vague answer.
Why don't you show us some of your work?

You're trying to make it pure Science. A bowyer knows it's a blend of Art and Science unless you're working with actionwood and Glass/Carbon.
 Of course it works differently with various woods but you can still group them closely based on how they react.
 
 I'm surprised you take such umbrage to Steve presenting this theory and with your background wanting a single verdict. After all OJ was guilty, not guilty and innocent all at the same time. Does Philosophy explain that?

You don't have to trust me. Have you at least read the whole thread?
