How to make a home made cresting jig?

[J. Cook]

Hi guys - bear with me here...I still can't access any of the old photobucket images.  So a search here doesn't help me much, as I see no pics.

I'm looking for a simple and relatively cheap method for building a cresting jig.  I want to see what you guys have come up with.  I'm a very visual guy - pictures speak volumes for me.  

Thanks!

Sorry don't know how to post pictures now.
I've modified a screw that fits inserts. I ground it down on one end to fit my dremmel tool. I put an insert in the nock end,and then strap the dremmel down on one end and I have a 2x4 standing up with a hole in it to support it on the other end.

I've done it very similar as above, but used a variable speed drill turned way down.  Sorry no pics though.

Have you looked in the "How To" section?

[J. Cook]

Pat B...Yup - but again, I can't see photobucket photos.  I saw how to build a spinner, but nothing on there with a cresting drive.

Just looking for ideas of what folks have out there.  Plenty of text via searching, but I'm looking for pictures and ideas (and again, I can't see Photobucket pics).

Jonathan,
I have some pics you may want to see, in an old email.  Send me a PM with your email address, and I'll send them.  This jig works well for me, and less than $15.

I was a bit more creative using an old sewing machine motor. Some type of a "v" block to hold the arrow works well.

Same here, sewing machine motor.  It's motor mounts were an easy fit to the build.  I'm putting photos on imgur and when they are ready I'll post some pics.

I used the motor out of a xeorox machine and use a rheostat to speed it up or slow it down. piece of semi hard packing foam with a v cut in the end to support arrow, use surgical tubing over the end of the motor shaft leave long and insert the arrow holds excellent and you dont have to come up with a machined type of jig to hold arrow.

I should mention that I also used a piece of rubber hose on the end of the shaft to which the nock fits in. I think it was some type of fuel line hose

Do a search on YouTube.......lots of good ideas.
