If you live in tight spaces such as apartments, duplexes, basement suites, etc. working on equipment can be an exercise in "space management".

At least it is for me. I don't have access to a basement, nor an extra/spare room to work on my bow or to make arrows or to just tinker. So between my brother and I we came up with this.

I either take this outside on the patio on nice days, or just set up on the kitchen table. Works for me so I thought I'd share it. Hope it helps someone else.

The Fletchin jig will go on the back side - when it gets here that is......

Mike,
I lay the bow on the struts (which have guides cut out) and then use the Bowmaster portable press. Cheap (inexpensive) but it works well for me.

I've got a small ratchet wrench with the proper sized socket to make application and removal of the press quick and easy.

Good ol' Home Depot.
