Tester complete
« on: February 25, 2010, 11:45:15 am »
Made up 3 of these. All that's left is stain & seal.
2 go to the club Saturday (if the humidity allows drying  ::))
What do you think?

Thanks.
26" inside to inside.
Notches have 3 angle/diameter to outside. Shaft sits on about 3/16ths on inside of uprights.
A little final sand, stain, finish and they're done. Maybe tonight.

Good work. Did you build in an adjustment for different size shafts, or will you just calculate that mathematically?

Calculators are wonderful things.  ;)
Majority will be comparative usage.

Riarcher, having one of you end post adjustable (up/down-in/out) really helps with materials such as cane and hardwood shoot shaft. ART

Like Art said, having an adjustable upright will make a difference if you are spineing cane or hardwood shoot arrows. I have the same indicator as you and the upright adjustment is still needed for cane and hardwood shoots.  The second pic shows how I adjust mine. You could probably add a piece to the top of one of the uprights that can be moved up/down and left/right.

Arrrr, gotcha.  :)

Still thinking POC that I'd straighten first.
I see the benefits of more adjustability than I have for Boo as a plus.

Has 0.060 on dial to zero, with another 0.050 tip adjustment.
Noticed it's not enough on bent boo (sometimes) or the nodes are out of whack.

This "Primitive" is so different than the sameness of trad. Carbons / POCs / Alum.  ;D

Thanks.
