Last night..I bought a 31 gallon galvanized garbage can, 10ft of foam rubber weather striping and some 4 inch PVC fittings and made a homemade cyclone for my dust collector. It should work.. Shawn, I have a 60ft tall ER cedar to cut down..when I sold my house last week I told the guy the tree didn't go with the property.. I have till closing dsy March 1st.. gonna make some 4x6x8? out of it..looking to upgrade to a bigger house now

Layed out a HBH board bow I had finished gluing up yesterday. I was hoping to cut it out but it looks like I need to keep the wife happy and take her skiing instead.

Robert I let mine outside once cut set for two years before I cut into it.  

good luck with it should be pretty

Started chasing a ring on a osage stave. It's the first osage stave I've ever touched. The rings are pretty tight. Now I know what all the talk's about. Lord, hope I get faster at it!

The silicone caulking arround the PVC fittings was dry on The homemade Cyclone I made yesterday. So I hooked it up and used it with my smaller 1 hp dust collector to sweep up the shop floor.. Fired it up, plugged up the hose and didn't hear any leaks, thought the galvanized lid was gonna implode....It picked up fine dust, shavings and pinkie sized pieces of scrap wood, most everything dropped into the can (1st stage), don't think a teaspoon of dust made it into the bag (2nd stage).

OK Robert, all the bragging in the world about your wizbang dust collector is just fine, but it means squat without some photo's and a quick how-to.

Tonight I took the tri lam out of the clamps, Oh My God what curves it has:)

 

Then glued on the east Indian Rosewood riser wood that Ralphie sent me, purty stuff.

 

 

Then put the 4th coat of Tung Oil on Pearly Boys BBO. Man is it ever sharp.

 

Looks good Roy. Both of em.

Eh... its alright Roy... lol no its AMAZING!!!

beauties Roy

Guess their ok Roy  

Well thanks Big Bobby:)

Urac or unibond on the tri-lam Roy?

Worked on the sparky thing that goes bang, even made a short uTube video about my progress, it would be against the rules to post it.

One could type in my name on a Utube search and see the video.

Urac, on my last can. Unibond will be next.

Finished up 4 dozen arrows for the Traditional Bowhunters of Georgia's youth trailer and got several stave clamps ready to donate to area clubs for fundraisers.

I have been reading and reading, and trying to figure out what will be the best chain saw for me to get to cut some bow wood.  Man, the choices a man has to make...geeessshhhhh.

Stihl Charles, Read now further.

Husqvarna, Charles...

UT OH...lol.  That is just what I have been reading all day...lol.
