The other friend and i were out trailing for about 5 and a half hours yesterday in wet conditions but intermittently he'd get long periods of terrible cogging with the water getting into the sensor connections despite dielectric grease, but even doing some mud bog runs, the axe was flawless.

The bow’s draw weight exceeded expectations, 80-85 pounds at 26 inch draw, and was too much for the archer to achieve anything more than a ¾ draw. The arrow flew true, due to its heavy slate tip and fletchings. Initial shooting tests were conducted at 10-15m, but due to the large draw weight, a degree of accuracy was lost. In the right hands, or with a reduction in draw weight, the bow could certainly be lethal and accurate at twice the distances tested, if not more. Although basic, made with Neolithic tools and from suboptimal timber, it was sufficient for target shooting and certainly could have killed. Conclusion It's probably not entirely right, but close enough. Yes, they're proprietary, but that's because nothing else works - not even other HW brushless stuff. While "making money" of course would be a consideration in their decisions, the FOC system actually might be the next "thing". To put it in my clumsy terms, it's less a "sensored" brushless system, than a "field orientation controlled" brushless system. If that makes sense. A slater’s axe can also be called a sax, slate cleaver, slate trimmer, saxe, or zax. It’s a cutting tool designed to be used in conjunction with a bench iron (also called a slater’s anvil), or a similar solid surface, to trim sheets of natural slate to size. Individual slater’s axes will either be left or right handed, as the blade is offset from the handle to protect the users hand from chips of slate. They also have a spike protruding from the butt of the blade which can be used to punch holes in slate.Once satisfied the bow’s flex was as even as the tools, methods, and wood choice would allow, the surface had to be finished. Care was taken not to remove lots of material and to remove it evenly, as otherwise the bow would have had to be retillered. Initial smoothing was done with fine flint scrapers, shaving out any rough patches, dents, and scratches. Roof slate is an extremely durable product being both resistant to the elements and fire, it offers one of the longest life expectancies of all roofing systems, with some suppliers offering upto a 100 year guarantee when installed correctly, resulting in a great investment for any property. How to slate a roof? Wait what hobbywing is pulling an apple now? I say avoid that dirty tactic all day. How very dare they. well as the title states. I'll be getting something new soon-ish, not entirely decided what Kit it'll be, but i know i'd like a brushless setup in the garage. I know that brushed motors are fine, i do have multiple Trailmasters in the garage already, but it's a nice system to have. Now, at these pricepoints, i'd like to not make the mistake and buy the wrong one. From the limited research i did, i can tell that the Mamba X is the more "open source" variant, with the Hobbywing having a proprietary motor connector. The Mamba X also can run brushed motors, which is a boon because due to the price, it might be less painful to get the Mamba X first, and run it with a Trailmaster until the waters have settled and i can approach my wife again for something new that i absolutely need and can't live without. That being said, if the Axe is just plain better, that point would be moot. Please always consult suppliers guidelines when installing. How to fit a VELUX window in a slate roof?

Rowan was also most similar to other woods the bowyer had built successful bows out of in the past eg. ash ( Fraxinus). Therefore, familiar workability and properties made the successful production of a functional Neolithic bow more likely. Stanley, J., 2019. How Old is the Bow and Arrow. World Archery. [online]. Available at: < https://worldarchery.org/news/166330/how-old-bow-and-arrow...>[Accessed on 06 June 2020]Sandy soils and boggy terrain are typical of the area, providing an ample supply of pine and birch. Other trees found locally are alder, various willow species, rowan and aspen. Due to low population density in this area of Finland, reindeer are plentiful; elk have also been sighted in the area, and occasionally European brown bears as well. There are several ways you can cut slate roof tiles and a variety of cutting tools. Two of the most common methods of cutting are by using a Slaters axe or a hand held slate cutter.

Despite this, elements of the modern-day manufacturing process were surprisingly simple to adapt to feasible Neolithic alternatives. For example clamping, shaving, sanding, and polishing. Fully waterproof. Submerge it all day every day and you'll only ever need to lube / replace the bearings Training the Bow – gradually increasing drawlength and teaching the timber how to flex (over 3 days) Concerning the "vintage" quality, There's evidence that some ancient cultures really did use ground slate knives like this, rather than (or possibly in conjunction with) knapped knives. A selection of flint blades and scrapers were then knapped; these proved to be superb equivalents to spokeshaves and cabinet scrapers (See Figure 2, 4th from the left). Production of the ArrowA large piece of leather was then used as a sleeve around the bow. Filled with sand, it could be rubbed up and down the stave to sand it smooth (See Figure 18). Final finishing was done with handfuls of fine shavings, polishing the surface. VELUX windows can easily be installed into a slate pitched roof, the key is ensuring you have the correct flashing kit which is designed to integrate your VELUX roof window perfectly into the roofing material, making your window weathertight, whatever the conditions. Finally, in climatic terms relatively recent in the Holocene, pollen evidence points to a climate not dissimilar to what it is today in Scandinavia (Seppä and Birks, 2001).

At times it was helpful to wedge the stave between two trees and brace it to stop it from sliding out; this formed a simple but effective clamp or shave horse substitute, which made working on the stave far more efficient (See Figure 13). The project was entirely dictated by the raw materials available and the bowyer’s knowledge of their properties and suitability. Indisputably, Neolithic bowyers would have been more highly skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable of their natural world (Prior, 2000), but the builder of this bow still brought extensive bow-building, bushcraft, and primitive skills experience to the table nonetheless. MethodologyThe c. 166cm bow stave was then de-barked, removing both inner and outer bark. Several tools were tried for this. The slate wedge and bone chisel were most effective. The slate drawknife was only good for removing the outer bark. Flint blades were too sharp and brittle for the tough surface and didn’t cut deep enough (See Figure 2 for tools). Finally, the stave selected was easily harvestable as it was from a well-suited fallen tree. This is significant when working with stone tools and perhaps points to a more opportunistic mindset, with effort weighed against functionality. Smaller amounts of material were shaved off with flint scrapers. The process began with flint blades that removed a lot of material, but less than the wedge or axes; perhaps as much as a spokeshave. As the adjustments became more minor, scrapers were used that removed tiny shavings, fine-tuning the bow to its final form. These scrapers removed material in a way similar to a cabinet scraper.
