Well the glue is dry. I take the clamps off, clean up the backside with a rasp (remove the hard glue drippings so I have a flat surface) and on the bandsaw I cut off the excess. Then I turn the bow on it’s side and plan the side flat. Now I ca...

Hello all. Just found this site a couple days ago so. It looks like a good bunch of woodworkers here.
I am just getting my first dedicated woodworking shop put together in the basement. I am Looking forward to many evenings of shavings and sawdust.
Projects I have made in the past range from simple cabinets, bows—as in archery—and gun stocks. —well one gunstock anyway— I just like to build things. I enjoy working with hand tools but definitely would not want to be without my power tools either.
Dave.
