    Did you notice how they got the height for the upper units? They are sitting on boxcars set on end. You may have to enlarge the photo some to see it. Pretty ingenious. I forgot to look for pink flamingos………

    Hey, not fair. I want the top one cause I need the excercise. Ok….maybe I want the top for the best view….but the excercise wouldn’t hurt either…unless Dean has an esculater [sp] for me.
    Thanks, Bill

    Does green sticks and the thick white string count I used to build and break em all the time as a kid, but think it would be cool to build a real one…. I remember a guy back in woodshop built one… he pulled it back and all heck broke loose

    I have built a couple of self bows that pull about forty pounds, can’t wait to whack a deer with one this fall.
    I am just starting to make a recurve and need some pointers on what to use for a form design,glue,wood,glass.

    I’m not sure how I missed this post….but my wife’s dads side of the family is huge into traditional archery. Her grandpa makes arrows, her dad paints cresting on them as well as makes bow strings, and her uncle makes self long bows. Pretty fun to play around with in not done right they will break I have seen it.
