Syringa arrow build a long
juniper junkie:
now that the nock insert is in and dry you will need to cut the nock grooves, to do this I use a block about 1 1/2" square, in the center I drill a 11/32 hole, I then cut a groove about the width I want the nock down the center. I want the shaft to fit tight into this so it doesnt move when you do the groove, test it as you sand down the nock with the drill, you can even make a couple using smaller or larger holes. I put the shaft into the jig and clamp the jig in a vise, next I will cut the groove, you can use a small file, 2 hacksaw blades clamped together or some other abraiding device that matches the size you are after. I got this attachment for my hack saw from a friend, not sure where to get them, but it works really well. cut the groove to your desired depth, you can touch it up with sandpaper after you are done.

great work! I would never have the motivation to do such fine work on my arrows since they seem to get lost anyway >:(

Thats a tile saw blade should be able to get them most anywhere, I bought one at the local hardware store.
Great build along.
