Thanks guys. As you can tell by the screen on my computer, I was at my home away from home while working.

EricW: Your right. I am already working on my next idea for colors and wood shaft combo! Once I got the hang of it, it went fairly quick.

Thats the same stupid table I use to fletch my arrows! Your arrows look really nice. When you do your own it seems a little more special to shoot.

Those look really nice.  Kinda hard to tell with the pics, but it looks like you have your jig adjusted pretty well and the nocks look straight.  You are well on your way.

Great looking arrows!!
Making arrows is a great way to expand your archery experience. After another few years you can boast that you have more arrows than the local archery store.

Nice job! Your house is comfortably cluttered, too. Made me feel right at home.   :)  

Now go pick up that flag.   :saywhat:
