ere's kinda where I am heading... This pic shows the rough test of the, erm, dare I say it - the red cock feather. I am not sure if I will keep the thin blue splices as I could be in for a world of pain doing them??? Mind you, there are only 12 + 3. Any thoughts. http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/a...

Well that is a positive for sure!!!

That is not only very disappointing mate but expensive.

True, but I did learn a heap through my stuff-ups

I showed some feathers that I had dyed that were a bit curled, they did in fact die - I killed them Did you try steaming them back to shape or did the dye stick them together and ruin them that way? Feathers can look pretty tatty but with a bit of steam they can be made to look quite acceptable aga...

I stuffed up those last feathers In what way? Your splicing looks to be done well mate. :biggrin: Jeff Previous to this recent update I showed some feathers that I had dyed that were a bit curled, they did in fact die - I killed them :x I am quite pleased with the last bit showing the blue feathers...

THanks Rod,

I wouldn't wan't to be on a per unit rate that's for sure

Okay - update, :smile: I stuffed up those last feathers - what a learning experience dying bloody feathers. :x Anyway after much trial and error I have sussed out how to effectively get the royal blue I was after. THe blue is a bit darker than in the feathers pic but more accurate in the next. http:...

Not sure how I missed this thread...

Another beauty you have crafted - Well done!

Cheers Jeff,

Yeah I did a fair bit of research on side quivers before I dropped the coin on this one.

... at around $1.50 for 2L of the cheap vinegar, it's pretty hard to beat IMO

Stickbow Hunter wrote:Congrats on the new quiver! How deep is the hood part mate? Do you think it would fully enclose longer type broadheads?

Jeff

... at its shallowest point it is 3' deep so should be good for pretty well any broadhead.

tell me more mate

I have a back quiver but it is a lottery as to which arrow head I will pull out. :smile: To resolve that problem, on the arrows that I make and have made in the past, I use different colours. For its only the fletching that I can see when I'm wearing the back quiver so I use red for the nock and he...

... Last night I dug out an old file from the shed and it was quite rusty. I used a tall thin glass container and filled it with cheap white vinegar, pop the file in, you will see micro bubbles rising off the surface. , the next morning it is all clean and revitalised. I imagine this would work a tr...

THe good thing about these, is that I can carry broadheads, small game heads and judos at the same time and easily select which one I want to use when out roving. I have a back quiver but it is a lottery as to which arrow head I will pull out.

I am using crafting my Surewoods right now, they are without a doubt quality of the highest level.

Very nice bow, congrats!

Cheers

Wow, glad you weren't hurt too bad, that could have been real nasty.

I would send the images to TradTech, you never know they may replace it? It is worth a try and will cost you nothing to ask.

Feathers dyed, Royal Blue.

My bloke is a gun and does interstate work, you can email or post receipts etc and speak on the phone, lemme know if you want me to hook you up. I am a sole proprietor I have been using him for 10 years.

Have a great one!

Please let me know how you go. I am planning using LocTite Professional (blue bottle) CA glue. If anyone thinks this glue is a poor choice please let me know?

Have a great day mate!

... I spoke with Mark yesterday to order some stuff. Excellent service. He also gave me advice on ordering a certain bit of kit direct from a supplier that will save me some $$. I ordered 124 feathers from him and some brass points. Bloody good service.

Cheers

Jase

Wow, that is some impressive work right there! Well done Rod!

Could anyone tell me in their experience if Minwax wipe-on poly is compatible with Bohning Fletching Tape. Thanks. I have been using Minwax on bows for a while and I love how easy it is to apply, it looks good and it seems to be very durable. Seems perfect for arrows too as long as it gets along wi...
