Lookee at what I made ;D!!!

I have no idea where I got the desire to make this, but I couldn't sleep so I started thinking it out. Went through about six designs and came up with this. So I spent all Saturday afternoon working on it- even though it's very simple. Hardest part was figuring out what sort of scraps I needed. It works pretty well, not perfect (sometimes the front or back are off the shaft slightly at first and you have to be careful about putting them down), but much better than I had ever hoped. I've been using my brother's Bohning jig, but it's been slow on big batches. This jig fletches it almost as well (same helical as the other jig, and they haven't fallen off yet :D). It's just a few scraps of red oak, some screws and glue, and some clamps. Either way, for the price of a nice multi fletcher I think this one is simply great. Once I get used to using this one, I'm sure I won't have any issue. I'm really happy with this :)

I only had two arrows to test it on though. Two are done with this, two are done with my brother's jig. I can't really tell much of a difference, can you?

Necessity is the mother of invention! Well done, young feller.

Thank you! Apparently insomnia is too :D

 That's a pretty cool, simple, Idea, Kegan. I like it. :)
