been using a gizmo that I made from your instructions from about the second bow on--before I started, I could not see stiff spots in a limb at all.  It really helped to train my eye to where a bow needs to bend.  Even now, your eye can deceive you, but the gizmo doesn't lie.  Thank you.  It is nice to finally see a face to match with they user name.

Great! - I hope that is what I'm doing!  Seem to be making progress, just a new learning experience for me.  Will be back after it tomorrow, trying not to get impatient!  Watching the video is a great help!

Excellent video, Eric, with lots of good information. I know you’re proud of your Granddaughter; she did a great job. I use my Gizmo on every bow. I wish my shop was a clean as yours!

Thanks Eric.  That was a great video.  I have been using a gizmo for a long time but I learned something from the video.

I appreciate you taking the time to do this.

Thanks Eric, nice video and handy tool in it's place. :) I still have a box of them you gifted me in my shop we use all the time at the Classic, they are a great help. :) We have managed to keep up with most of them over the years.  ;) :)

Well done production Eric! Easy to follow - very clearly stated, and driving home the point of removing wood slowly should help future bowyers avoid costly errors. Thanks to you and your talented Grand daughter

   I know this sounds like an add commercial  but I sent out 3 English longbows last year tillered using the gizmo and all 3 set world distance records. The unlimited ELB was only about 90# and out shot the existing record by about 50 yards or so.

Excellent video, Eric. How to use the gizmo you sent me could not be clearer.  Nice to get to "meet" a true Southern gentleman.
Bill, also from the ML forum ...
P.S. Now I have a serious case of C-clamp envy ...

Great video Eric. I used your gizmo on last bow and really like it! On another note Now I gotta hit the thrift store for an old pair of heavy metal scissors to take apart for a scraper!!
