John ya can make a tillering gizmo like that with a 6" piece of wood, a nut and a pencil.
Basiacally ya drill a hole in the middle, inset a nut, then screw a pencil thru so its adjustable.

John are you supposed to be playing with bows at work :o I would never do that ::)
What n2 and justin said, how long is the bow if ya get a little light you can pike it a few inches
also an unbraced picture will help. Your doing good so far John just remember to take yer time eh :)
Dats good Yooper wood there :P

It helps when you'r Ma owns the place  ;D

Nice bow Its a great feeling to see that first arrow fly.  You have made something you can actually hunt with and that is a great achievement in my book.

I agree. Me and VB tossed around the Idea of starting some kind of group for us up here last year  but never did anything about it. It would be good to get an event going up here. Im sure folks would start coming out of the woodwork and we could have something going in no time. Dana your in charge of everything :D

Hay Yankee... where did you get that elliptical circle thingie...
how did you make that... I like it. nice way to tell what you are shooting for.

I use Microsoft Paint...but you can also use Photoshop to do it too....it's really easy and it sure helps to nail your Tiller....just have to make sure that when you take a Picture...the Bow is either in the Tiller tree...or you are holding it perfectly straight...so the Arcs hit the Bow true.....

Sounds great ! I would make the drive up, i have a buddy that is getting the itch to build a bow too !

I shot "Da Yooper" last night for the first time, It will definetly kill a deer, but i'm going to try for a Turkey first. I'll try and get some more pics up today of her unbraced.  ;D

Here's a pic of bow unbraced. Looks like it took about 2inches of set.
