Homemade Bow Press - Part 1

Fabricating a bow press from material/scrap I had on hand.
In "part one" I take the dimensions of the bow & cam, and make a start on the press fingers.
Part 2 coming soon.

Is aluminum strong enough to compress bows?

[@swarfcity]

Hi Ibtn1, In this instance it's plenty strong enough. Appreciate your comment.
