Default Capping and cresting again.

I got my hunting arrows for the year ready yesterday. I like how they look and they should be very visible. I made up a new machine with a motor I got at work. The motor is variable speed 1000-12,000 RPM. I have a spare motor and controller if anyone wants it. It has a chuck on it and could be used for capping-cresting or possibly an arrow saw. Just send a PM. Motor and controller have been claimed by LT!

That's a handy tool, Greg. Nice.

Good use of the B&D workmate, too

What kind of arrows were they?....and.....how much you charging, per doz?

Beman MFX. If you want any done you only pay for the shafts and whatever fletching you want.

Man those look sharp!! You're getting quite good at that.

I'll have crested arrows this year myself...I'm not talented enough to do it myself so I'm having our guy at the shop do them up for me. I can't wait to get them all fletched up, they're gonna look awesome.

Don, with practice you can certainly do it. If you give it some practice with old shafts you will be pleasantly surprised at the results.
