If you need to use some tools, saws, grinders,, hop in the truck with Seminole wind and come on over. I'm 30 minutes away and have lot's of extra tools I can probably be talked into to getting them out of my way ;).

I've built a few molly's.my take on them is get the tips reduced and line up as soon as possible. Btw,i wouldn't make the handle all fancy till I got some arrows thru her.

oh it isn't a fancy handle it's just slowly being worked down with rasps and files and is a bit wavy.

Yeah, as bush oh says it helps to have the levers established before getting to low brace.

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Good for you, congratulations.  You can use lots of stuff to back a bow, linen or silk from a thrift store...even brown paper bags and tight bond glue.

Feels great getting out of the apartment life. We did it this summer. Congrats on that and I agree with the other guys, looking forward to seeing you bring this one home as well.
