... have you followed the one summer ring rule for the front of the bow as you scrape it with the draw knife? (I think back of the bow is the surface fasing you as you shoot it and front of bow is the surface facing the target correct me if I am wrong)

Nice one yet I suppose it will be quite difficult in cleaning this tubed glass container. It shows to be very efficient though. Very difficult to make something like this as a DIY project as tha main parts of the coocking chamber have to be bought as they are.

Yes you should do that before choosing your arrows. If you buy them the archery store must know poundage@draw.length to give you the appropriate shafts and arrow heads. Now if you make them ... I do not know how you can make them so that they fit your bow. I suppose via trial and error.

Nice Work! How much poundage does it draw at your draw length?

Hello! This is my try to make a Solar Oven from Stainless Steel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GzPxc-gMjs The angle of the reflectors came to be more than I expected (and designed) and so the temperature did not rise as much as I wanted. From other videos on the net I hoped that...

Hello, I have made a wood stove to use along with the Trangia utensils. No modifications took part on the Trangia. I used the hole for the pressurized multi fuel stove to feed the wood into the angled stove. Made from Stainless Steel. Here is the construction process...

@bobnewboy thank you for the information! Yes I did look it up and saw some pictures. Yesterday I did go to the archery lesson yet I did not check the bow (I forgot to say the truth, and the lessons are done with the recurved Olympic ones). I will check it next time. I suspect that there...

Chrysals? And what can I do to protect it? Thanks
