need to make a tiller...
« on: October 09, 2008, 10:53:22 pm »
ok Gurro's...

     i need help to make a tiller or a tiller tree or tiller stand... i dont know the correct term.. soo please forgive me...

    i have been trying to make these bows... and a the first few snaped on me but luckely i was to be able to save one as some may know from my last post...

  however i dont have a "tiller tree..."   i have been doing my tillering by floor tiller until i can sring it and then i put paracord or 550 cord as the string but that string gives a  little bit and then i only have about an inch from string to bow when i really start to excersize the bow...

  i know this is probably why i have been having such a difficult time trying to make these bows...

but i didnt have a book or video and i'm just try to do the best i can how i can...   soo i string the bow and hold the string down with my foot and pull the bow up towards me and i bend over and look at the limbs while pulling?   ;D  ;D  ;D ... i know this must be a silly way of doing it.. but hell i didnt or still really dont know what im doing...   just trying to do it..lol...

   i did read some post and i picked up that somebody was telling somebody else you should start getting the fades to bend first...  i take that , that the "fades" means the part that ends the handle and starts the limb correct??? when i read that i was like "OH" well that makes sense... lol...  i might have had better luck if i knew that a few weeks ago..lol..  at least i think thats right... right???
 
anyhow...   i need to make a tiller tree and i think i have a good idea of what its supposed to look like... i saw several on here while reading post but i could use some help and maybe some pics or instructions... 

any help / advise wil be appreciated... thanks...

Here's mine. It's portable. All you need is a bare wall. Yours doesn't have to be. Make a shelf. Below it attach a pulley. The hardest part is figuring out how to attach the pull rope to the bow. Get a stout rope for the pull cord. Jawge
