    If you stick a solar panel behind glass the efficiency takes a nose dive.

    Canoe looking all forlorn

    Feel for you. Although in regards to that rotator cuff injury don't give up on rehab. I am an "RC" survivor :rolleyes: You can get better.. Took me two years of work but I am now 90% there. Its just a very long and painful process but it can be done and most of the time without surgery.

    Out and about Catch-up Thread.

However been a long time since I have had the time to make a bow :( Hoping to change that soon, especially now as I have some...

    Does base layer material matter if it's under wool?

    Tried many poly and nylon base layers over the years from many brands both cheap and expensive. I cannot comment on warmth as I don't rely on a base-layer alone to keep me warm so any experience will be circumstantial. What I can say is I end up back in merino every time purely for the...

    Chestnuts

    Up here (Chester) I have only found decent hauls on the very very mature trees. Also add to that some are just good years and some bad. I believe they do better down south and in much warmer climes.

    What is this wood?

    Would have to dig back but looks like the stuff the Bowyer guys used to post from the states. They called it ERC or eastern red cedar. Could be dreaming it all up mind.

    Looking for short bow info and found much more

    Finding suitable timber for a shot-bow is easier than long for obvious reasons. If you intend on learning to make bows you need to get ahead of your material needs unless you intend on buying timber in. Even force seasoning timber your still into months. I made a little cherry bow for my lad and...
