Building arrows
PEARL DRUMS:
I don't mind assembling arrows from TSA shafts :) , but I don't mess with shoots or cane/boo anymore and I would never turn a plank into shafts, I have better things to spend my free time on. I like grabbing a dozen shafts spined within a pound or two and know they will all fly perfectly.

"and know they will all fly perfectly. " Mmmm tell me your secret, I may get 6 out of 10 to fly reasonably close to each other. Having said that I'm happy with that but a 100% would even be better.
PEARL DRUMS:
The secret is to spine test every shaft you turn/make, or, buy them from TSA and get a dozen of the exact same shaft, they will all fly perfectly. If you don't have a spine tester then bare shaft tuning each and every shaft is the only other method to make them all fly the same. 6 out of 10 means you're wasting 40% of your energy and time.
PEARL DRUMS:
For the record, TSA is the only place I've ever got shafts that actually spined what they were sold as. I have went through dozens that were sold as "within 5#", but actually had a 10 plus pound variance. That is no good.
Woodely:
Actually the last batch I made was about 8 out of 10 good flyers. The spine is within 3#. Probably should bare shaft tune call it laziness or whatever.
