No Thrust bearings? Mine has two eyelets too, but with a .1/2 shoulder bolt. I drilled a hole in the front of my fingers opposite of the thumb screw and installed a spring so when I adjust mine, the finger just moves back and forth without any slop. The springs keep the adjustment screw against the press at all times. I don't know why people leave this feature out. It is one of the easiest parts of the build.

Thank you for sharing your build, looks great. I built most of this over the weekend, ran into a couple bumps but still very happy with the results so far. Your eyelids that you welded for the fingers( I ordered the same ones off eBay) do you feel that the 1/2 inch hole is necessary or could you of just stayed with the 7/16 predrillled hole? One other question, could you share the dimensions of the eyelids that you welded?
@kelly.mondragon6 күн бұрын
@@octwin definitely can stick with 7/16 if that works better for you and you have a pin that fits. I cut the eyelets at 1.5" x 1.5" square and then grinded the top corners to round them out.

Thank you for taking the time to make and share this video! Looking at your design, I think if I were to follow your inspiration, I would try to make use of both sides of the stand with the press on the far side and the draw board on the near side so there isn't a need to be swapping fingers.

use a ratchet strap or cam buckle strap. loop the ends around you limbs and tighten the strap till your limbs retract. As long as you are careful about loosening them it all works as well as anything you can build .

Do you have a issue with the bow coming out the bottom of press when pressing due to end of the limbs being curled back in some?
@kelly.mondragonАй бұрын
Nope. I've had about a dozen different bows in it by now and never had an issues. The way the fingers are designed make it almost impossible.

Will the airbags respond quickly enough on valves with 1/4” tubing? My friend suggested that, so I bought solenoids with 1/4” ports but now I’m worrying if those would deflate fast enough.
@kelly.mondragon27 күн бұрын
Sorry, just saw this. I am skeptical that 1/4" will give you enough air. Only one way to find out!
@eddycastillo61853 ай бұрын
One quick question! Did you use a bearing at the end of the 2 inch tubing, mounted on the all thread. This bearing will support the all thread and turn smoothly. Great build! I like your design where you have the two plates welded to the square tubing. thank you for sharing your design.
@kelly.mondragon3 ай бұрын
I did not, but that is a smart idea. It is still pretty smooth though. I put grease on it and it has never bound up.
@kelly.mondragon3 ай бұрын
FYI...I decided I don't like the angle of the bow when I hang the bow on the bar stock for the draw board. I was worried the string might derail. So I've just started taking the pin out and hanging the bow on the square tubing. It works better because it keeps the bow perfectly square. I may even cut off the bar stock since I won't be using it for the draw board anymore.

Yes I did. However, like I mentioned in the video, I had most of the steel. So all I bought were the fingers ($80), the aluminum rod ($10), the winch ($25), plastic square plugs ($10), all-thread rod ($10), and spray paint ($10). I haven't priced metal lately, but I bet you could get it all from a scrap yard for less than $100 if you don't have any laying around like I did.

@kelly.mondragon11 ай бұрын
I don't have much control over the airflow into the air springs with this setup. It is basically inflate or deflate. You can control the amount of pressure coming in using your compressor gauge. I'm sure you could get more control if you needed it for your project.
