Title: Good to see all the old timers
Post by: bigcountry on June 01, 2021, 11:54:55 AM
I haven't posted here in years.  lost the fire of making bows.  Moved to Blacksmithing.  Good to see all the old timers like Pat B and Kenny, still posting. 

But I have like 5 glued up bows and several selfbows that are at the floor tillered stage.  Thinking of jumping back in.  Blacksmithing is too hot in the summer time.

I became a tad saturated with bows.  Gave away some, sold some (won't do again to a person that doesn't understand selfbows).

Honestly, I spend more time making tools to blacksmith than to blacksmith.  Making tongs, making forges, making hammers.  But mostly knives, candleholders, flowers, fireplace sets.

Nothing wrong with that Bigcountry. I stray into making things other than archery gear all the time. Flintlocks, leather, knives, metal, other woodworking. Just do what I feel like. Here's some drawer handles I made for the workbench I built last year...
