True enough,  and oh yes I have learned a lot.   ;D  Anyway onto the next project.

allanmeier:
sorry for my incredible ignorance, but what is TSA? I put together some arrows (buying shafts, fletching, kocks etc. from 3 rivers), and they cost around $8/arrow. That seems a little pricy and I want to start producing my own.
also want to try forging broadheads. Any ideas?

Hawkdancer:
Allen,  TSA is TrueShaft archery, one of the sponsors.  Check out their website.  Very nice folks.  Located in Canada.  As for forging your own broadheads, got to be some body close who can help you get set up, or let you use their forge to start out and learn.  Might try cutting some out of old saw blades, too.  Have fun!

Russ:
Allen, look up videos of forging arrowheads from rebar. how to get the metal hot, well you can use a bucket filled with charcoal and a hairdryer for the air. you will need some insulator like plaster of paris and sand in the (metal) bucket or kaowool. just line the bucket with the kaowool or fill it up with plaster of paris and sand. put a (smaller) bucket in the middle of it and let the plaster dry around the bucket. you will have a hollow hole in it to put the charcoal in.
