I hate MS Windows with a passion., but take a sort of perverse interest as I work in electronics.

Enough of that stuff.
I've been making a tube for transporting bows, oddly I can fit 3 bows into 65mm square section plastic drainpipe, but I can't get 'em into 68mm round. I've cut some of the excess pipe and flattened it using a hot airgun and putting a brick on it. This has then been cut to size and glued into the two sawn halves of a spigot adaptor to make two end caps. One fits into the pipe, the other fits over it. All this is so I can take some bows on a 'plane when I fly to the USA in May.
While tidying the garage I also found a thin off-cut of pale Waterbuffalo horn which I polished up, it's rather pretty and shows how the colour runs through it.
I'm going to try out the Ash bow tomorrow, see how far it will lob a variety of arrows.
What airline are you using when you transport your bows? How much extra does it cost? I will be making a trip to the States in the fall.
ReplyDeleteThank you,

I'm travelling on Delta. I don't know how much it will cost as I will have to check it in at the ariport. I'll put it in the blog when it happens.
ReplyDeleteThe avaiable information on baggage is poor to ambiguous at best... the 'free baggage' allowance for sprts equipment only covers modern bows which take down to a small size.
Thanks again, I will keep an eye out for it here on the blog. Have a good trip!
