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!

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

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