The next step is to cut away everything that does not resemble Johns new workbench.

Hey Matt that looks like its going to have enough weight to handle the abuse that we are going to throw at it. With your skills it's going to make the old one look like firewood lol. Wow and that guy really came through with some nice wood.

we sure could use your input other than via phone. I only have 4 years of experience under my belt and that is just not enough to address the wide range of issues that can show up while making a bow.  However helping others build bows build experience faster than on your own.

yep he likes to have those adult conversations with Tom about whats going right and wrong in the shop. He seeks what he can't get from his father lol. He had a good time shooting the bow he got from jw at the first Iajam.

Well the weekend was a blast with the dam clean up almost finished, two bows floor tillered and Paul coming over this afternoon to take a look at the progress on the timber for the new shelter...good times for sure. Hey When Tam your welcome to join us if your up for a hike in new snow. I hear a new storm is coming on Tuesday with lots more snow so dam work will halt till we get a melt. Just too hard to work on a slope with 2 foot of snow. The snow is not melting on the back side of the dam where the sun cant get to it. Looking forward to those 40 degree days. The temp now is 3 degrees seems like winter will never end.

Matt, Paul is coming at 11am.

We had, counting mine, 5 bows going at one time I believe that is a record for our group. We would have had 6 but one guy could not make it due to snow.

Looks like great things were happening over there yesterday!  So will the guys be coming back soon to finish their bows?
 I would have MUCH rather of been there than snow blowing.  Between the nice pile the ILDOT was kind enough to pile next to the vehicles and three break down/repairs to the snow blower, it only took about 4 hrs to redistribute the snow.
On an up note, I did start sizing the top for your new bench.  It's going to be apr. 5' long 24" wide and 4" thick.  Gotta get a gallon of glue and hope to have the top glued up today and start laying out the base.
