I have ground a ton of them over the years, now I trade the rights to get the lefts ground, kinda' lazy in my old age. I don't get too many wings now days but have had as many as 72 wings donated by my friends on a good year, too many for me to do by myself.

I made a jig out of 2 pieces of flat stock from Lowe's. Hold them together with a couple clamps. I grind with a belt sander. Can get full length feathers pretty quick but I get a sore neck from looking Down after a couple dozen. I usually do like Eric krewson.

I split the vanes with a pair of Craftsman Handi Cut cutters. Cut to desired length, place in a Bitzenburger straight clamp. Sand with a palm sander until smooth.
Although, I have never timed it, I suspect I can have a feather ready to glue on in about 2 minutes. Been doing it this way for decades!!!
