As in, wishing I had one to better manipulate the feathers, arrow shaft, and the string.

But to paint your arrows you use a machine right?

yes, the cresting is done by machine -  a tiny little lathe type contraption.

     Check your flea markets, and garage sales, the internet, for Bar B Q grill rotisseries.  They make great cresting  machines.  Nice and slow. ;)

Bub I'm too ashamed to put anything up in flintknapping. I've been trying with glass before I start that pretty stuff and I have broken every single piece
