silly little arrow organizer, DIY and cheap!
« on: April 21, 2013, 09:27:00 AM »
Hey everybody, my bucket of arrows has overfloweth, actually it was just a large water pitcher, but it was time to do something about it.
   

So I had a bunch of shipping material, some hand tools, some cloth I was going to back over a fiberglass tape board bow, and the mandatory duct tape.  
   

I got them tubes cut, I thought I was just going to use 6 of them but decided to use those short ones later anyway.
   

Putting the two short ones in meant I didn't need to build a box to the size of the longer 6.
   

So it doesn't look great empty....
   

but once it's full of shafts and feathers I think it looks pretty good tucked in the corner.
   

Total cost once I take out materials I had on hand, zero dollars. I think it took me longer to edit the pictures and post to TG than it took to make it.

You can go to Lowes and get plastic endcaps that fit the cardboard tubes perfectly. I have been doing that for 20 years. I perfer the bigger tubes. Shawn

Well, I guess I'll have to order a couple new fishing poles from Cabelas so I can get the tubes.   :bigsmyl:

Good idea. Looks good, may have to do something similar.

Great idea.    :thumbsup:    I have a few buckets, but the arrows and shafts get to be quite a confusing mess.  I'll have to try putting some tubes in my buckets.

Very nicely done Thom. Do you have any idea how many of us you probably just put to work instead of sitting around reading Trad Gang posts?

You can gp to Home Depot or Lowes and ask for the carpet tubes and they will usually give them to you! Shawn

Good way to recycle Thom!

good idea Thom   :thumbsup:

That is a good idea!  I also use that "milk crate" concept.

I have two of these nail kegs. One has 1/2 inch holes and the other has 1 1/2 inch holes.
