Default Fletching Jig

Hey fellas, just looking for a little input on fletching your own arrows. I would like to get myself a jig and try doing it on my own, but have no clue where to start. Is there any old threads that anyone knows about as a good step by step process? Also, what brand of jig should a guy look into? How about glue or any other items you should stay away from or had good luck with?

Thanks

I have the Bohning Fletching jig. It has done fine for me. I bought it for about 30 dollars at Cabelas so it's not going to break your wallet.

I have the Grayling Jig, I've had it going on 10 years and has worked perfect for me! I do a few dozen arrows a year and didn't see the need to spend a ton of money on the expensive jigs, paid under $30 for it.

Do you need a different vise for blazer vanes, or can you do blazers in any model?
