Nice arrows and nice pics. I usually stick to plain janes also, but sometimes it's nice to spend a little extra time.

Nice job on the arrows and good idea for a cresting jig. Using marbles was a great idea and definitely thinking outside of the box. Thanks for sharing your idea with us.

Wish I could take credit for the marble idea.  Ozy Clint had a thread about making a bush mechanic's arrow spinner and it was where I got the idea.  I just expanded on an already great idea.

Those are nice looking arrows, and a cool cresting setup to boot!

Thanks for the great information!  This seems like a very economical way to crest some arrows.  Thanks for taking the time to post your pictures also.  It looks like you have a good system going!

Nice job Pac. I've been making them for years, and it never ends, you always think of a new one to try out.
Have fun, shoot straight.
PS. Love the marble idea.  :clapper:

Nice arrows but beware it will consume you.I just started making arrows again,I had mad so many it took me about 5 years to shoot them up.All my paints dried up,got sticker shock with shaft prices.Thank goodness I still have 100's of feathers.I could not even find Duco Cement.I had to by it online.What is this world coming to.

Those are sure some pretty arrows . I'm making self nocking arrows with a walnut stain & screw in adapters . I just don't have the gift to make a pretty arrow like the ones listed here .
