The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

I've been just roaring ever since you posted that!

It's easier to see on the tee-shirt...the graphic takes up the whole back of the shirt.

Steve wants a beige one...how boring is that? But it's not like we'll have much choice anyway...unless we get it painted ourselves.

I'm sure there's all kinds of things wrong with it, but I am really excited. I may have taken off a fraction too much from the limbs, when strung, the 68" string lies 8" from the belly side of the handle, can't remember now if that is within the parameters. One limb arcs a little more deeply than the other, I've now got it figured out that I only need to shave a very little from the one arcing more shallowly oo make them match. But both limbs arc without (to my unpractised eye) any terrible flat spots.

Tomorrow afternoon, I'll measure the draw weight and length, see what's there.

Osage, I could never in a million years have made this thing without your help. I'm in your debt. Thanks.

From one Dutchman to another;-)

Well done 2J, well done. Guess the pyschadelic paint job would be a bit overtop up. Blue is good. Green would be better.

I like green! The classic color green they used to paint them. It's actually my favorite!

You'll probably end up doing just that.

Yeah, I was worried whether the arrow was still in my yard, since it was nearly dark when I let it go. But I found it after a little while, no blood on it.

Sam - I'd untwist the string a bit to get the fistmele down to about six inches. You're correct, shave off the shallower bending limb. No flat spots is good, no abrupt bends is good is as well. A smooth flowing arc.

You're entirely welcome, one Dutchman to another.

The bus/van version of those was pretty cool, too.

Probably so, because once they're painted and done up, they get pricey! I'd just soon sink my money into one that runs pretty well and might not look so pretty and then fix it up a little at a time.
