Minuteman:
Thanks guys.
 Justin, concerning the handle clamp being canted, I'm not sure it had anything to do with it or not. I do know that I inadvertantly pulled the limbs toward me as I put the bands on. I'm gonna install a stop on the center stack of plywood so I can mash the handle back against that, then measure out from there to the center of the handle. Then i can just take that out to the tips make my center line the same then clamp it down, making sure as I go it isn't wanderin' around.
  I was layin in bed last night , fumin, when I remembered how many aborted and broken bows it took me to get a shootable selfbow and I realized I just need to keep on keepin' on and I'd eventually get there.Sure has beeen a bumpy road though.

Jbell:
Sorry to hear that, been there done that, better luck next time.
