Hawkdancer:
I wonder if the old steel bands from a plater boy would work?  Is there any simple way to determine the type of steel in the bands?

Circular saw blades that get used up will make more heads than you can kill deer with in a long time. I used  plain shaft tapered back and a hole that goes right at the tip of the tip of the arrow. I slide a piece of sinew through the hole that was wet and chewed. pull it down and wrap it around the shaft to pull the head in tighter and lash the back of the broad head stem. Several pieces of sinew and a night drying and they are ready to go.

Here is a PDF file of my template for 125 grain heads with the hole in it. Print the paper and glue it right on the blade to cut them out.

Hawkdancer:
Hopefully, will have some blanks ready based on the point from Dances With Wolves courtesy of Rich - modified to be legal in most if not all states.  Will try to post when I get them.   I think theangle ginger is too rough, and the hacksaw takes too long >:D (lol)!

Digital Caveman:
I just learned how to use a plasma cutter; what do you think of using that for cutting trade points from a bandsaw blade?  maybe a little off topic unless Fox has one.
