Gluing blocks onto pieces for clamping is pretty common in the furniture making/fancy woodworking world. It can greatly simplify clamping some tricky joints.

Got to work on some arrows today. I have some doug fir shafts from Surewood that I am planning on using but I need to taper them to lose some mass and figured I'd practice on some big box poplar. I've never made arrows so I had to make myself a shooting board. Got the planes sharp and went to town. I used my belt grinder to smooth them but but they got pretty "Lumpy" if that makes sense? I only did a hand full of the shaft blanks so I'll probably try and hand sand the rest. Also made a sanding jig but not sure how useful it will be. My shop is in a detached garage and I'm learning I really need heat and a bathroom in there. (lol)
RyanY:
Anyone have any tips for keeping the shaft nice and parallel? I'm going to try without the belt grinder. Any tips are greatly appreciated!
