Del the Cat I looked at some of the other videos you post there on photobucket and I just wanna know what that box contraption is. Looks like some type of graphing system where you wait for the line to plateau? What is that?

I think I posted it on here, but I can't find it.
If you look at my Bowyers Diary starting Friday 8th July and the following 3 posts it explains it and shows some of the build.

It's an automatic force draw curve plotter, I just built it for the fun of it.
It doesn't work very reliably and needs rebuilding with decent bearings etc.

That's a beauty!!! Seems to spit arrows with authority as well.  I just finished an Osage with propellar twist similar to that.  Man! that was tough to tiller!! Good work as usual!

The ones in this post are via Photobucket.
Sometimes I'll edit small pics down, save at a lower resolution on my PC and then they can be attached directly to a post (200kByte limit I think)

Gorgeous. I think it makes cooler bows to just "go with it" rather than straighten everything... that just makes everything uniform and boring again,  :). Beautiful tiller, and nice all around.
