DIY archery work bench

[Engels]

Who else works on their own stuff. I just got my new press and decided to make a work bench with a draw board built in. This is my first attempt at it and will probably tweak things as I go. Let’s see your archery work stations!

Bonescreek where’d you get the small winch for the draw board?

Bones is in the US...……...just sayin' his source wouldn't be here in AB.

That being said...……………..Princess Auto sells them. Think boat winch...

That’s where I got mine. That said. The one I bought was the smallest they had in stock. They may have something smaller online but I didn’t check.

Thanks Engels, I decided to put the drawers on my bench on the end rather
than on either long side so I could easily get at them when I have a bow
in the press or the draw board.

Unless you have plans to add say an arrow cut off saw etc. on the opposite
side of your draw board, you could put long drawers or shelve combos on
that side.

I like that you have a wider top surface than I do, I'm setup in my basement
and space is tight plus I used left over deck boards and 4x4s from rebuilding
my deck so lumber was limited.

I'm going to build a seperate arrow building station when I get time later and
I need to build something to setup the chronograph on as well.

Lot's to do this winter. :-)

So, I'm just spitballing here, but both of you have Last Chance Archery presses, so why would you mess around with draw boards onto the side of a cabinet or whatever when you could just buy the draw board for the LCA press? It's made for it and it works great! The winch is like the one Bones has. Matter of fact it is likely the same one.

I thought about going that route. It’s definitely the way to go, however I am cheap and I built my draw board for under 40 bucks and serves the same function at the end of the day! If I could find one for cheap I would be all over it!

Cheers

The problem with the draw board on the press is it is hard to measure the actual draw length without using a tape measure and adding 1.75 inches. I use collapsible saw horses for my press, draw board,and arrow saw. These horses come on sale at CT for like $20. That way they can be brought anywhere and easily stored away on hooks on the wall.

Price was the reason I went with ArcheryDezign $165.00 for the draw board rather than LCA $220.00 and I have a neatness fetish thought the
scale marked out looked really cool.

brendon's dad, how's the arrow cut off working for you ?
I'm working on building one with a grinder that travels into the cut with an
adjustable stop (I'll set to 1/8" deep cut). To bring the grinder into the
arrow instead of swinging the arrow into the cut off wheel.
Don't want to derail this thread so I'll start a new post on the cut off saw
build.

Not really a problem. Measure it out 1 time and mark it on the frame of the press or install a tape on the frame. Done. Once.

Wouldn't the tape measure or marks end up 6-7 inches away from the string? Do you then use a square against the frame out to the string or do you just eye ball it?
