Thanks for posting this Bill.  I've been wanting to make one of these since I saw you use it the first time.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

That's pretty cool, Bill.  Here is what I use on difficult arrows. It

Really like both of those ideas. Mine works but puts marks in shafts from square edge. Was wanting to make something different

Nice. Thank you. Is all the seemingly unnecessary metal (the curved base) supposed to be hot to help straighten?
