Guest Bob_D Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I purchased a used older style bow press about a month ago with the plans on converting it to be usable with the new parallel limb bows. Here are the pre and post photos. The position of all 4 rollers is adjustable, and while I had things cut apart I spun the base on the left side so the thumbscrew is in the front. All I need now are some wrist sweatbands to put on the rollers to protect the finish on the bows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob_D Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Re: Bow Press is finished Thanks guys. I got a good deal on the press, so it saved me a lot of fabrication time. All said and done, I have less then $140 into it and about 6-8 hours of fab time. Not bad for a style of press that sells for almost $500.

VTbowman Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Re: Bow Press is finished Dude that turned out really nice. I am sooooo glad you got it finished too so I can stop hearing you gripe about it not being finished. LOL (jk) Nice to know "we" have a bow press to use now. LOL Again it turned out great. Well done for a robotics tech... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
