Self-nock process

Justin Snyder:
Frank, the hardwood insert is what I meant by a reinforcing spine.  Sometimes I use horn, sometimes hardwood. They are referred to as spined knocks. You must use the wrap with thread or sinew, or use the reinforcing insert, but you don't need both.  However on my hunting arrows I do both just because I like the look.  ;D Justin

I taped 3 fine hacksaw blades together offset so that at one end only 1 blade is exposed.  At the opposite end 2 blades are exposed.  In the center all three are together.  Mark end of shaft 5/8" centered on shaft cutting across the grain.  Cut first w/1 blade then widen with the 2 blades then 3.  Then take a small rattail file and make a "snap nock by twisting  like a drill at base of nock.  Then round off with some really small detail files and sandpaper.  Then finally wrap the shaft just below the nock w/sinew.
