Okay back at work with DSL and now I can look at all the pictures....fantastic job Greg...great post as well...I may have some questions later when I go to build one myself.....

Sweet! Thanks Greg! When I get home I'm gonna print the page out!

I'll be hitting you with questions, please have patience with me? :eek:;)

RE: instructional thread for capping and cresting your own arrows!
 

No prob, trembow, no prob...

Plenty of people had patience with me just to get me to be able to do what you see here... ;)

Seriously this is awesome! I just copied it over to a word document and I'm printing it out. I'm gonna hit wally world on the way home and I have to find a sewing machine repair shop nearby.

This, plus my new Switchback is going to help get me over the rough bow season I had last year and the severe lack of fishable ice we have around here now.

I don't want to be all ***** or nothin, but you may have saved someone's life you know?!! Most likely it's the life of some poor unsuspecting shmuck who will cut me off on Route 495....I'll make sure he thanks you! :D

RE: instructional thread for capping and cresting your own arrows!
 

Put ya in that good a mood that you're willing to forgive someone for cutting you off? Wow! That's high praise... ;):D

RE: instructional thread for capping and cresting your own arrows!
 

Bump for myself! ...(I'm gonna add some of my OWN pictures soon)

RE: instructional thread for capping and cresting your own arrows!
 

Cool, trembow! I can't wait to see 'em! :)

RE: instructional thread for capping and cresting your own arrows!
 

Hey Greg, great thread! also thanks for the good info you provided over on my thread about bucks and dressed weights.. good stuff...ty again

Okay, submitted for your review, my first ever crested arrows using the method described right here in this thread. These were my absolutely first few attempts so be kind!




Once I got all the parts, it took me about 30 minutes to throw together my cresting machine. Notice I didn't post any pictures of it? I suppose had I taken my time:
1. It would look like a bit more than a sewing machine motor screwed down to an old shelf.
2. My "v block" would be higher so as to help make perpendicular lines.
