Sorry, guys, I haven't been on RAT since I last posted.
Randi, thanks! I will be bringing the little beast with me to Higgins this Saturday.
Duncan, thanks to you too. I did craft the bow arms using the 7x formula, and they seem just fine. I made up some el-quickie rope springs out of jute just so the machine will look more complete for the upcoming event, and the length is fine on the arms. I was totally surprised at how powerful the springs are with just heavy jute, and could only put about an 8th of a twist in each end of each spring with just finger power. This little machine is going to be as lethal as it is cute.
