Mq thanks for the tip that seems like a huge savings on something that you only use once a year or less. Did you have to experiment with different size motors or at least different rpm or all sewing machine motors about the same? If my bohning ever goes i am going to replace it with your idea. I always had a hard time trying to figure out where they got there price for these kits but people like me still buy them.

Here' s a link where a guy made a cheap cresting machine using a sewing machine motor.

yup...works like a damn. I made a little clamp instead of a v-block to hold the arrow. I basically took 2 pieces of wood, drilled holes (1/2 hole in each piece), then covered them in in fleece, used pipe hanger as the hinge and voila! You do have to strap the drill to the wood, thats easily done by using pipe hanger strapping. It' s great because I can vary the rpms too.
