... Thanks for the info Dave. You answered a lot of questions I had about those booms. I agree with Vic, they look interesting but very funky. $225 is quite a...
Chris: I bid on them also ans when I asked why they were pulled off sale, I was told he sold them privately. I have several photos of triblades he made and the...
For what? You may want paper (Nema XX) of you may want linen (nema LE) what are you making and what thickness? You might also want a German grade and or...
I had a couple of slabs of strips laying around and ran them through my table saw only to find the blade was off by a few degrees. so long story short I cut...
George, I do get the USBA info digest... perhaps I missed it, but the posting from Chet is all the info I've seen. If things work out, I hope to meet you, and...
Bruce, I plan on going to this tournament. I haven't made any plans yet. I live in the St. Louis, Missouri area. What don't you post your email to the...
Hi Victor, Â That's interesting ! I don't know the properties let alone the physics behind it impacting the water....traveling an unknown distance....and than...
I'm hoping to make it to the Natls, but there are a few questions I need some help with. I sent an email to Chet introducing myself, and asking the following...
Has anyone purchased one of these for there kids yet? It's a disk boomerang for under water. Just wondering if it actually returns. This is the link to it. ...
Vic, If I'm correct, the 10 ply 5mm ply I use has layers that alternate as Chris mentions, but that to keep the grain on the 2 outer layers running the same...

This is a great idea Stéphane. One of the best things about boomerangs for me is trying all the different materials boomerangs can be made from. I love to...
Garolite XX is the paper-fiber reinforced phenolic. If you're ordering from McMaster-Carr, they have the brown stuff and the black stuff. I recommend the...
Thank Glenn, I appreciate your comments. I try to do my best since the boomerang already is a very eco-friendly sport so there is no reason why we should make...
Tibor says paper impregnated paxolin is what I want, but my options seem to be canvas,linen or something refered to as XX (MSC industry supplies) what do i...
