I used the Crest lac white to crown dip my arrows. I did 3 coats of Dalys profin on the arrows before dipping. The white Crest lac dried with spider cracks on it. Do you know why this happened?

Hey! And he is back! Welcome back and thanks for this very informative video

A good idea is to mark the shafts to orient your point with the grain of shaft!

I will have to start using acetone because I've lost a few points inside 3-d targets! Also, I struggle with getting the point on straight sometimes. There is some skill involved!

Wow ! You’re a true craftsman!

What glue are you using?

I have a question do you have any experience with spining footed shafts?

Love your videos

Thanks you for these videos

Great video

Brilliant video. Thank you.

I see you are using CA glue on the vanes and Duco on the feather. Any reason for not using Duco on both?

They look great!

Awesome detail in your vids man!

It's wonderful to see you after so many years. I live in Turkey. We are waiting for more videos. 😊

I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks so much for these valuable instructions.

I am sure CCR did not approve the use of the song

Are you taking custom orders again?

Curious have you ever experimented with glow in the dark paints with your arrows? Been curious about that

Nicely done Andy!

How do you make sure you have adequate surface area to get the stability you need? Are these two correlated or do you just need a little something at 12/4/8 to provide stability when the arrow is in flight?

Those True Shaft archery arrows are pretty great, got onto the 23/64 size shafts kind of by error but man they shoot well out of my bow

Great series!

Thanks for sharing this great information welcome back.

I'm impressed with your shaft tapering rig. Not the nock or point one, which plenty of people do.

Welcome back!

Thanks for sharing this information

Thank you so much, Andy! 😊 I'm so happy I found this series. You explain everything so well. I have learned so much from this. I started watching your intro video and a little of Episode 2. I'm going to watch the whole series! 😊 I looked at your website and gallery. Everything is very impressive! Thanks again! David 😊

Anyone have a link to the types of clips he uses for attaching the arrows to? I have been looking but haven't found the exact model.

A very useful and informative tutorial many thanks.

Very useful video 🐵🐻😊👍

Thank you

for me ash works best ,straight grain, looks nice and tools nice with a shooting board

Hands down the absolute best/detailed arrow-building video series I have seen on TH-cam!

Very good informative video. Thank you!

Hello again, Andy. I just put a pair of cat whiskers on the string of my takedown recurve, following your procedure to the letter. The only problem I had-unfortunately it was a significant one-was wrapping the strips of "whiskers" around the string. The springy rubber kept unwrapping, no matter what I tried. As a result, my "foundation" for the rest of the installation was uneven and loose. The resulting "spheres" of rubber strands certainly deaden the sound of the string, but they look sloppy and ugly. Did I do something wrong? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Best, Chris

Hi, Andy. In my not-very-humble opinion, though this video is six years old, your method of installing cat whiskers is the best on TH-cam. This is due in no small part to your use of the Constrictor Knot, which my sailing-enthusiast uncle taught me more than 50 years ago. I've used it hundreds of times ever since-in a wide variety of situations‚ and I think it deserves far more exposure and popularity. In any event, the nice, round shape that results from your cat-whiskers installation method looks great and performs really well. Thanks, Chris (in Maine)

Beautifully crafted arrows. Well done.

The "do not try this at home" is not because you shouldn't try this at home its so he doesn't get sued when a dumbass burns his house down.

A video you can smell!

Because it stinks the house out

Do you ever use sanding sealer first?

Are these really cat whiskers?

Tapered woods. Nice!

Is the black and red spiralling done with your ingenious finger painting method?

When staining arrows (as in the stains that colours and highlights the grain rather than covering the grain pattern)do you do that before sealing the arrows ir is it like crown dipping and cresting, after 3 coats of sealant. Also when crown dipping with white, do you still do one final coat of sealant after, or does the acry-lax/crown lax finish the sealing, to avoid it yellowing. This is why i think you should write a book in decorating arows, in the meantime im going yo have to rewatch all yoyr videos but this time make comprehensive notes.

That swirling technique, is so simple but looks so good. Hats off, really impressed

You channel is excellent, im just getting into making my own arrows, and really keen to start crowning and cresting. If you ever write a book on this I'd definitely buy. Your a great find, really good infirmative content. Really pleased i found this channel

Do you have a video on how to do the swirl patterning? Also do you know where I can get flame cresting stencils? If not do you know how thick the brass sheet is on flame stencils? I might try making some.
