They are awesome!
I'm jealous of you guys that enjoy building arrows especially when you do it so well.

Thanks for sharing!

God bless,Mudd

Thanks guys. It is a blessing to me hear your remarks. I just love making them. I guess I am challenged by being a perfectionist! Challenged or cursed I don't know which.

David

So did soaking help in stripping?  Did you try anything else on those problem feathers?

You know Mike, after I started using the dremel tool I didn't have to soak them. Just grinding the base down to the thin membrane works great without having to mess with trying to strip them...at least for me that's the way I'll do it.

Jerry, I don't just sit there and make arrows all at once. I'll usually go out and do some grinding and splicing, then I'll leave it alone. Then as time allows I'll do some fletching and so on. I really don't know how long it would take...punch card in this operation! I should try timing it sometime and see.

Hi Okie, I haven't had a chance to cut and taper them for tips yet. I tore my side of the garage apart Monday to insulate the outer wall, getting ready to sheet rock it. So, my arrow making is on hold! Going through withdrawal!

if you wait awhile I can help you. Or I could come over and help boss your son in-laws around  :)
I have the tools too unless you have another certain TAO project master roped in yet.
