Thanks Bob!

Yes, if you could find out what he has available I might be interested. He seems a bit reclusive! Nice Facebook page and You Tube videos, but no obvious phone, email or web site! I ...

Good progress Nick! Do you stamp your name on your bows?

The 'Thread of Ed'! Sounds good!

If you are investing in metal working tools you really need a set of numbered drills, 1 through 60. Each one is so slightly different from the next that you can a ...

Well done! That was quick!

Good progress Chet! If I might make a suggestion, I wonder if you are making things a bit difficult by using ebony and stainless steel for the tip plate. I've had quite good results using casein ti ...

Looking good so far Chet!

I don't quite understand how you are making the ferrule or underslide. Will you be posting pictures of this process?
