PEARL DRUMS:
Cool! That poor steering wheel must be all beat up Josh.

aww dammit i got lost doing the nail knot. I get wrapping over the tag end to secure it. Then insert another thread that is doubled in a loop. Then i insert the short end that i originally wrapped over(the tag end) into the loop and pull tight. This is where you lost me. When i pull tight on the tag end nothing really happens anyways.
then i'm supposed to pull on the two strands that formed the loop and for some reason something just doesn't work after that.

gstoneberg:
D, you run the tag end through the loop and pull that loop back through the wraps and it brings the tag end along with it.  I used to use this approach with string serving until I learned how to do it without the loop.  Can't do that with the wraps on the arrow so this is the way to go.  Thanks for doing it, I've got a boatload of turkey secondaries and a couple arrows waiting for feathers.  Very nice build-along.
