Hello all,
First off i would like to thank you all for the wealth of information I have gleaned from this board. I have been reading the magazine for about 8 years and started reading the board for a couple. I started building bows last year when my dad passed away, as i needed something to redirect myself. Since then, with the help of all of you I have gone from making fireplace starters that looked like bows to making real shooters. I have made a few good bows. I can make bow strings now as well. I am also making my own arrows.
Now i am starting to get more advanced in what i am doing. I going to start doing a few more ambitious projects. My job leaves me with limited time to work, as I am a social worker working with dual diagnosed adults and children (mental retardation with a mental illness) and work 60 + hours a week for, well i bet you can guess i don't get paid much. Building bows has really helped me cope with the passing of my Father and with the stress of my job.
So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to all of you for helping me get through a hard part of my life without even knowing it. God Bless.
Dan Sanger
