Nice work The Chief. At first I thought that was a photograph of the actual mountain range and then saw the garage door in the background. Mystifying to say the least.

How long is the hybrid model? What brace height are you gonna set it at? I'd like to see a full picture of the bow if you got one. They are all looking pretty sweet so far. I had a buddy back east that made recurves in the late 90's. They shot almost as well as my Damon Howatt Hunter. Almost. That bow has been king of the heap for a very long time.

I've been building it primarily as a 64"-but recently built a 66" for a buddy that draws a real 30" and it was a strong performer --It seems to like a brace around 8"-but the forward handle accentuates that measurement some!
today I was preparing to take better whole bow photos-its a weak area for me!!i'll post whole strung bow pics when I get them
heres the 66" during construction--bocote/kingwood-red elm limbs

Really like your piece in Looney Bean Bishop, Rick.
I got a client that wants some nice metal numbers for a rich place on Brookside. Sounds like it would be easy for you. I will PM.

My place used to belong to a husband & wife botanist couple, who wandered the planet, and brought back everything they could uproot, to plant here. They set up an extensive irrigation system, with miles of iron pipe to keep it all watered. ( no exaggeration, they covered five acres with it ) It became a jungle.
I beat back the jungle. Got rid of everything that can't live without irrigation.
Crap like this is all over the place:
I'm in the process of tearing it all out.
An hour or so of roaming around the yard with a couple of pipe wrenches yields this:
( except for the shiny stuff bottom-left, I got that at the hardware store )
Another couple hours, and I have a desk lamp that's tall enough get underneath without ducking:
Some people's desk lamps say "Tiffany" on them. Mine says "STOCKHAM".
Maybe I'll paint it, and maybe I won't. I don't know.
My next iron pipe project will be a frame for a greenhouse. A greenhouse will keep my peppers from freezing, and give the cops something to think about next time their helicopter circles my garden.

Hey CHAZ!! Great idea... seriously. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Burch and Erik...
Let me know.
I can do what ever either of you want... seriously.
Burch: The Pals are doable. We would include Sill, TC, Gayley, across to Winchell, Robinson and Cloud Ripper. All looking from the east. 5-6' wide.
You pay for the Materials and shipping and we can work out a deal.

Thanks, Chief.
A couple months ago I pieced together a table for my outdoor kitchen out of the same stuff.
The stove is 40+lbs. The BBQ weighs more than that ( it's lined with rocks ). Even with the lower brace offset to make space between the wall for the propane tanks, it's more than solid enough to support that and me standing on it. It's a hell of a lot sturdier than I thought it'd be.
I didn't know if 1/2" pipe would be strong enough - I went with 1/2" because I found four "leg" sections that were the all same length - but it ended up being perfect.
The legs adjust in height to account for the uneven brick porch it sits on. No more wobbling when I stir, fry, or shake.

Work continues on the studio space. The entire roof and truss system was raised 22" to give just under 10' inside. The sloping concrete floor was covered with tapered PT sleepers and 3/4" subfloor; 1/2" underlay and epoxy paint next. Wiring is done except for the six, four bulb fluorescent ceiling fixtures, walls are insulated, framing is done. Just need to order and install the propane heater, finish insulating the concrete half walls, and then ready for drywall.
Anyone have an easy solution for insulating four skylight shafts? Yeah, me either. They'll probably look like a sweater knit from cotton candy by a one armed blind person, but will be outta sight once the ceiling insulation gets blown in.
Just set the table saw up yesterday, just need to attach the out feed table and get the correct receptacle to wire in. How many times have I wished this was set up while it sat in storage for the last year and a half?

Nice space, Edge! I predict you will enjoy it. The 'hood' looks quite bearable, too.
Propane forced air? What's that gonna cost?
