Well, I'm going to do it! I have been restoring old bows now for a while and have done several. Now, I'm going to build one using Binghams Projects plans and materials. I know there are several on here that have built bows and a few that I would consider masters of the craft, if any of you have tips, pointers, comments or suggestions please post them.
So, here we go. First I had a friend give me a "hot box" that he built, used once then gave up on the building of bows. I did some modifications to it, he had it "insulated" with common aluminum foil and the thermostat was broken. I added chains to the lid, a new thermostat, insulated with aluminum backed foam board, added a fan, two power indicator lights, and some wood to help line up the lid. I also drilled three small holes and added "covers" over them so I can check the temp. in the box.
