The fitst layer is the Fiber Glass;

The second layer is the Playwood;

The last one is the Fiber Glass again.

I used the Playwood of 15 mm.

HOW DID I DO THAT?

WATCH THE VIDEO OF THE DESIGN AND CUTTNG PROCESS with comments and suggestions.

The drill has broken! Because it was not well fixed.

It`s highly recommended to read the SHOPBOT tutorial!

This are the wastes of playwood. It`s neccessary to optimize the usage of material. If you`ve got a piece if playwood, try to use it all and leave little wastes.

This bow is made of several layers of the cedar and an adhesive substance.

Just for the demonstration I made a little Bow that repeats the method of composites used for big bows.

I love archery.

These traditional bow is possible to make by yourself.

You need the moulds of playwood, the epoxy and the glass fiber.

But to follow the idea of my final project I made a BRACELET.

First, make the measurings of your arm. Cut the sponge.

Then take a thin CEDAR

PUT THE ADHESIVE GLUE ON THE CEDAR

JOIN THE LAYERS. YOU´VE GOT 3 LAYERS.

THEN BEND IT REPEATING THE SHPAE OF THE SPONGE.
