I have seen a couple photos that have a sit down bench with what looks like s lever that holds the stave in place and also look mobile enough to take places. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and if so does anyone know where I can get either drawings or close ups so I can copy one for myself.

Hey Cromm, yes Sidewinder is correct, others (including myself!!) would be interested in seeing some blueprints

Hi this is the plan to the bowyers bench that I made, the only thing I changed was the length of the bench. I made it longer because I wanted to make an English long bow. If you cannot read it as a PDF file I can try a different format.

Thanks, just when I was going to ask what others use to hold the bow when working on it.

Currently i am Using a pony clamp ( a vise on a bar that has a lower brace that slides on the pole, and a hand crank on the top, not a very good description, i know
) I works great, and is increadibly strong, i pad all of the contact regions to keep from damaging the wood. Ty
