BOW VICE


This is an easy vice to build that will hold your bow in any position you want while working on it.
The materials needed are ½” cold rolled rod,1/2” inside diameter steel pipe or tube,3/16”set screws,3/16”nuts,1” angle iron, 1 chain link,1/4 x 3” bolt/nut/flat washer,1/4”x2” coil spring and some plastic hose to protect the bow.
Cut all pieces at first.
1.1½” Angle =4”
2.½”cold rolled[bar from now on] 2pc x 4”
3.½”bar {bend before cutting 3½” x 5Ό”}
4.½” bar {bend before cutting 4 ½”x6”x 4½”}
5.pipe 1 =3Ύ”{a}

Drill holes in the 4”long pipes for the set screws mid way approximately and weld the nuts on.
Drill the angle iron for mounting screws,I used 3.
Weld 1 4” pipe to the angle.
Weld 1 4” bar to the other 4” pipe 1” from the end.
Weld 1 4” bar to pc # 4 above in the center of the 6” run.
Weld the tab to the same piece,1” from the end.
Weld the remaining bar to the remaining pipe.
Install bolt in tab,add spring and assemble to locate where to put the chain link and weld it
Slip a piece of plastic tube or hose on the 3 pieces where your bow rests.
Use set screws not bolts to hold the pivot points,bolts will slip!
