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

<< < (2/3) > >>

John K:
3 hacksaw blades taped together for me, then finish off with an 1/8" file.  I really like the look of a self nock !

DBernier:
I cheat when doing over a dozen.  :o   I use a table saw.  >:D

Pat B:
I use my band saw for the initial cut then work it open with a thin bladed knife, sand paper folded over and over and a small set of files.    Pat

ricktrojanowski:
I use three hacksaw blades taped together.   Offset them so on one end you have only one, on the other end you have two and in the center you have three.  I finish with a few different hobby files and sandpaper.  If you use a round hobby file you can "drill" at the base of the nock to make a snap nock.

JackCrafty:
Sometimes I use my scroll saw...but a small rasp is almost as quick.  I finish up with sandpaper.  I don't plug cane (or reed).  I just cut the nock below the node and wrap with thread or sinew (as already mentioned).
