Wow! Sorry to hear that happened and your right you probably should have been checked out. Sure you had a concussion at least. I dang near tko'd myself trying to get a string on one I was working on recently.

I'm glad you're "OK" and i'm sorry to hear about the bow, but this has actually been an entertaining thread to read (knowing that everyone is OK of course). For some reason this line made me chuckle: "Haze and confusion along with blurred vision after a blow to the head can be an indication you are gonna get dead soon."

That's straight from WebMD. Sorry for the loss. I understand that feeling of "I've got to get this done no matter how long it takes or how little sleep I get. I get the mindset from time time......typically mine is not preceeded by a severe concussion but I get it. Good luck with your build and I'm with most of the others. I'm sure most of the guys would be willing to wait a little longer. Poop happens. $:-\$

Yes.......Bourbon and power tools.....That'll fix it right up.

Bourbon might also be the cause of the blurred vision and haze to begin with.

Good Grief Y'all...

Do I really have to say it?

You don't mix Bourbon with Power Tools...

It's Fine Aged Tequila, a Fine Cigar and Power Tools that equals Success!

Fine aged tequila ....... I always thought it was shine.

PEARL DRUMS · « **Reply #55 on:** August 08, 2013, 11:15:03 am »

So why do those tips look all finished up and shiney and yet you where scraping and messing it with it? Did the tiller change after the initial "it's done and time to seal"?

Pappy · « **Reply #56 on:** August 08, 2013, 12:02:07 pm »

I'm with ya Pearl,I know lot of folks that love the finish work so good they do all of that before it is really a bow.

Maybe they are just surer of their work than I am of mine.

Make for bigger heart breaks.

didn't you know, jw does all the finish work before tillering

JW_Halverson · « **Reply #59 on:** August 10, 2013, 01:41:20 am »

I may have been a little hasty at laying up finish, or else I was too aggressive sanding out the fades area because when it was time to take the photos of the bow at full draw on the tillering tree it looked hinged. And I came unhinged. I didn't wanna send it out looking like that so I was indulging in my favorite past time....fixing something to death.

I have made a keychain fob out of the remaining tip.
