Title: Can't Remember Where
Post by: KenH on March 18, 2010, 01:00:02 am

I saw a photo of someone's "upside down" tillering setup.  The roughed out bow is supported at the tips by wooden "stands" perhaps a foot high.  The bow is set belly down on the stands, and  a bar clamp between the handle and the bench top gently pulls the bow into an arc and you can scrape/sand on the belly while the bow is under tension.

Anybody else remember seeing this?  Or am I having a Senior Moment?

Nope, I saw it too, but that's as much as I remember.  About a month ago?  Maybe 2 months?

I built myself a couple of uprights like shown and will now use them on every bow I tiller. I don't need a mule to get the first high brace on a re/de anymore.
