DIY Bow Press

[rj2]

That thing is awesome. I routed out the fingers when I had access to a CNC, but they've just been sitting on the shelf because I don't weld. I have a press out of a pipe clamp and oak limb fingers that works fine for all my tuning/string changes, just a bit crude compared to this one!

Was debating on welding up a roof rack for my blazer.. but now you've got me thinking..

I once heard it said - "I can't weld, but I can grind..."

"Don't weld more in the morning than you can grind in the afternoon."

Nice work

Looks impressive, how much time and cost total did you put into it?

looks great. Like others have said, the acme threaded rod will be an improvement when you build version 2!
