WWAG- Nice stuff!

I don't want to hijack WWAG's thread, so I'll start a new one.

Nice Press my friend...

Plastidip works very well if you use more than one coat. I've put 4 coats of it on some ratchet strap hooks and the stuff is still there.

now that is one neat bow press...one newbie question, how does it work?[&:]

Like how does the chain and handle work...get what i'm sayin?

There is a ratchet mechanism under the handle and in the upper body of the sprocket tube. Ratchet up, back it down by de-ratcheting. It only takes one or two clicks. I'll see if I can make up a short video sometime soon.

Heere's a pic of the sprocket and ratchet set up.

Have you thought of industrial type felt with adhesive back? You can get it in different thicknesses and widths. I have used it on a few machines to keep parts from getting scratched. If it sounds like something you might be interested in PM me and next week when I go to work I’ll look it up for you.[/b]

I dipped the pivoting tabs and the handle that I slimmed down with red Plasti Dip today after I sand blasted and painted the press white. She's gonna' look cool when it's back together. The Plasti Dip I think will work pretty well and the edges of the tabs are coated too to protect the bow when my clumsy hands are guiding the bow in and out of the press

Well it's all painted and the pivoting tabs and handle are dipped in Plasti Dip.
