How do you do your self nocks/pictures of my first primitives arrows

mullet:
  I use my bandsaw to cut the notch and then clean it out with a chain saw file.I don't put anything in the hole, just wrap it good with sinew.

cowboy:
Sounds like we're all about the same. I have plugged all mine with some kind of hardwood dowl, cut in with a bandsaw 3/8" deep, chainsaw file, then clean up with sandpaper. Oh, and wrap with sinew..

Butch Speer:
I use a masonry blade in a hacksaw frame. put in a jig , then in a vice. Hols ot really good without mashing the shaft. Cut it as deep as you want, finish it with sand paper. Pretty quick & makes a good nock.

The holes are 5/16 11/32 & 23/64ths. Draw a center line on the 1x2, mark & drill each hole. Cut the board down the center & put a small nut & bolt thru one end. Works great for holding your arrow while wrapping the nock too.

Look like shooters to me. I'm new with cane and use the hacksaw blades/sandpaper method and seems to work fine.Wrap with sinew/hide glue for reinforcement. I've whittled down some scrap osage to make a point and insert into the end and glue. Shoots great.
