D. Tiller:
Well, I'm just about ready to start work on straightenning my arrow shoots. But, I need some help on making the tools to use in straightenning the shafts and so forth. Can you guys post pictures of the tools you use and construction info? Please help!!!! I am finding using my hands and my heatgun to be a lot of work! Could it be the technique I am using? Any and all info would be apreciated!!!

Never used anything except my hands and a heat source. Works for me. If there's a bend near the end of a shaft that I can't get hold of with my hands, I'll stick the tip between the spring and body of my leg vise or whatever's handy and pry it out.

D. Tiller:
I have got to make me a bench for a vise and put them together. Do you guys have the plans on how Pappy made his benches that he uses at his place? Those look like just what I need to really have something to work on! I am really getting tired of useing one of those bench mate watcha makolits that you set up and can store away. My back is killing me from bending over so low and it just does not hold the wood well. I know! I know! I'm bi@#$@N and moanen!  ;D

sailordad:
i use my hands too,and the grill or littler propane space heater.

but i been thinking, for the bends at the ends of the shafts, take a six inch long 1x2. drill a hole near one end about 5/8ths of inch wide at a 45 degree angle
heat the shaft,slip it in and gently bend.

gotta remember to be gentle,i just broke one that was almost perfectly straight :'(

                                                           peace,
