Making fletchings
Pat B:
You need to come back. :OK
Pappy:
You was supposed to keep that to yourself JW. ;) :) :) and yes you need to come back sometime. To each their own , but I prefer splitting and grinding them, simply because they are easier for me to deal with when putting on an arrow. :)

As for a grinding clamp; I use a Jo-Jan straight fletching clamp with the fixture that holds it in the jig ground off. You can see it in this picture lying on my fletching table, I use it on a sanding block while fletching if I have a feather with an extra thick quill that needs a little thinning. I also use it if I cut my own fletching for shaping the quill on my belt sander.
TimBo:
Can you strip goose feathers? I thought that only worked with turkey. I havn't managed to accumulate enough goose feathers to try them.
Pat B:
You can strip any feathers if they are not too dry. If they are you can rehydrate them.
