cane arrow straightner?

(1/3) > >>

stringstretcher:
Has anyone come up with a cleaver device to aid in the straightening of cane arrow shafts.  I was thinking of something alone the lines of taking a piece of angle iron(aluminum) and cutting a part of the 90degree angle out leaving a sort of window.  Make up some sort ot leaver to attach to the back with a grab hook to put on the arrow shaft, and then using it like an arrow straightner but in reverse.  Anyone have other methods to try that works better than eye balling?

mullet:
   too much trouble and it's a lot easier to do it by hand. If you don't have an alcohol lamp, use a propane torch or any heat source. It takes very little heat or effort to straighten cane. You could straighten 3 dozen arrows in the time it took to figure out how to make that contraption. You want to make arrows?; or machines? ;D. Like Pappy said, It ain't Rocket science.  ;)

stringstretcher:
LOL......well how about if I just become an "arrow making machine".....you got me......I will stick to making arrows I guess..  man what one has to go through with for just thinking......roflmao

mullet:
   LOL,   Naww, really, it's easy to straightend them while watching TV. Heck , build one, it might be in Cabelo's next year.

Hillbilly:
It's hard to beat your hands and eyeballs, after some practice. I heard of one guy who had a flat-topped wood stove who would heat up another flat piece of sheet metal on top of it, then roll the shafts between them to roughly straighten them and compress the nodes at the same time.
