Dnk: Got a few questions, lol. [You know this will be good!] Do Canadians have Social Security numbers?? Can I have yours?? [Pm it rather than posting, as there are some unscrupulous people in USA.] In the event that won't work, can you use mine? lol. I'm not going to add up my costs, lol, but we got: Fletching arrows, Serving strings, ASD, Good optics, you get my drift?? ps. just ordered a pair of Steiner binocs today, add another $80 to the list. I'd of been better off getting married again than "running into" you!!! lol.

So you broke down and bought a pair of binocs to replace the ones you already don't use.. That is funny!

RE: making flemish strings

One amendment to this post. I used hardwood for this board. I cut the sharp end off of the nails and pre-drilled the holes. According to the DVD you can use softwood in which case you won't need to pre-drill.
