I have very limited machining tools, so the design of the frame for the bow had to be simple enough to be made with little more than a drill press and band saw. The top and bottom plates are 1/4" thick aluminum plate. I simply drew up the outline and hole locations, printed it out, and pasted it to the plate. After a little careful drilling and some tap-and-die operations, it was pretty much complete.

The limb pivots are made from thick wall steel tube that is drilled and tapped for a 5/16" cap screw. This allows the limbs to pivot and provides a very large range of limb angles. It will probably make more sense when I show how it all goes together next.
