Show me your arrow tools!!!!
DBernier:
D.Tiller, I am so fortunate in that I have a large work shop, 28ft x 34 ft long. It has three rooms in it. Attached is a couple of photos of some of the benches in one of the rooms, actually my machining room. If you search Lowe's and Home Depot, sometimes you can find custom counter tops people have canceled or were ordered by mistake. You can get them for a fraction of the cost. The two shown here I paid a total of $54 for. The small tool you see in the other photo is my arrow straightening tool. I Carry this tool in my pocket 24-7. It is a deer tine with a brass hook in it. If you need to straighten an arrow in the field, or in your workshop, I usually rotate and sight down the shaft and then put the high side up. Hook the tool over the arrow and press down while sliding it over the high spot. Works great and only takes two or three swipes.

D. Tiller:
Dick, do you heat your shafts before using the antler tool?
Nice shop! Wish I had that much space. I do my work in a small shed not more than 10'x10'. Kinda cramped with all my stuff in there.
Butch Speer:
This is what I use along with some heat. Can't take credit for it. Saw it on a how-to on straightening Multiflora rose. Put a 2x2 on the bottom & chuck it up in a vice. Works better than any thing I've ever used.

D. Tiller:
Thats prety cool Butch! How long is it length and width wise? I will have to try that too. Man the possabilities are endless now.
How about home made target points?
DBernier:
Hey D.Tiller you do not have to heat the shafts. I lay one end on top of my shoulder and hold the other end with my left hand. Hook the tool over the shaft and pull down while sliding it back and forth over the high part of the bend. It really only works with wood shafts, not boo. I'll try and have Amy take a photo of me doing one. It is really quite simple but hard to explain.
Butch, that is a good tool. I will make one tomorrow. Thanks for posting it.
