Someone asked me if I'd done a video on splicing billets. i was surprised to find that I hadn't so I made one... well a series of 4 actually! (on my Del Cat Youtube channel).
I also noticed one of my mates on Facebook wanting to sell a bow to fund a new warbow...errrr, I think I've got a stave that is his that I said I'd make into a bow for him (he'd given me a primo Pacific yew stave as payment). I messaged him pronto and promised to jump straight on it... work currently in progress.
A couple of videos of that on the Youtube channel too. It's really nice that he wasn't hassling me for the bow, that way, when I remembered it, I was full of enthusiasm rather than feeling I aught to do it. That's why I only really make 'em for friends these days or do bows that really pique my interest.
Currently at 130# @ 29", so pretty close!
I've been adding a bit more sinew to the horn bow too, to correct the sideways bend on the weaker limb. That has had getting on for 2 weeks to dry out, so I'll hopefully be posting something about that next week.
I'm doing less on here and more on the Youtube channel these days, although for some projects you still can't beat the written word and decent still images.
I've noticed the viewing figures have dropped off to, not that I'm fussed, I mostly do it as my aide memoire.
Stay safe... the second wave of covid is on it's way.
