Pappy has one like Sawfiler uses, except I think he purchased it.

Has anyone else noticed that if reheating nodes more then once they're not as readily plyable as the first time? I might have been getting mine to hot.

I have one of them,didn't make it ,I got it from Ace,I have been using it on my Cain arrows to compress the nodes.It works great for that.Heat them up and roll the flat.I also used it on some Hickory shafts.I just heated the area and rolled them on the high side and worked great also.

Great ideas here....

There's a well-known video on youtube that briefly shows a slick arrow straightening tool used by a master arrow-maker. I saw it a while ago, but it didn't dawn on me, until recently, that I missed it. I watched it again, copied the tool (made it out of mulberry branch), and it works great.

Here's the link:

The arrow straightening tool appears at 1:36, good closeup at 1:48, and appears again at 5:05.

D Tiller,
Sorry it took a while to get back. Those are 2x2s about 6ins. long. Set apart just enough to allow for the arrow. Mounted on a piece of plywood with another 2x2 on the bottom so you can chuck it in a vise.

Pappy, nice "stuff" The only thing I can add is on your arrow tapering tool is to drill a series of 1/4 inch dia. holes down between the angles to let a lot of the dust filter down out of the way. Helps in not clogging the sandpaper/files etc. Again, nice "stuff".

Pretty Impressive implements, I just used these and some of that fat mixture before I Burnish the Arrow after Fletching.I used a bent Butter knife and heat it to shape the Fletches.PK Good Day

Recently I was asked to send pictures of the tools I use to straighten arrow shoots. Well, I'm going to post them here in case others might be interested. Sorry for the poor quality of the close-ups. (Hopefully, I will be getting a better camera soon

).
