I had no idea how much inventory you stock and sell. Your videos are super informative and at the same time concise enough to keep my attention. You do a great job! Thanks for being so generous with all your knowledge.
Hi Thank you for posting these videos, they are very helpful. Did you and Dan ever get the magnum arrow crester issues worked out? I'm considering buying one and the bigger unit seems like it would have more working area, but if it has issues, maybe the smaller one is a better choice. He should definitely give you a cut of his sales or a discount code if you send him people that buy his lathe. I have to imagine that you have sent a ton of people to buy his cresters.
@@addictivearchery1123 Thank you for the quick response! You do some amazing work, the arrows in your "how to make wooden arrows" series look amazing! The spliced fletching ones in your quiver from the rock shoot look even better. My question about the magnum jig stem from a comment in this video which you probably forgot about. You said Dan was working on modifications to the magnum because the idler arm seems to get a little heavy on the end of the arrow. You said you addressed the issue with the all thread and a wing nut, which you seemed to like. However you said Dan was working on alternatives. I was just wondering if he finished them or not. I'm considering both of these two jigs, I'm just not sure which yet. If the larger one provides the same thing as the smaller one, just more working area, that seems like the choice to make. But if it's still got some issues and should just be kept for really long cresting, the smaller one seems like the most relevant. Again, thank you very much for your time and help. If you are looking to do another video for the series, and I had a wish, I would love to see a video (maybe "advanced fletching"?) from you on how to do spliced fletching. That would be awesome!
Yes you can. Make sure you clean the shaft really well to remove all dust and oil residue from touching first. I use acetone to clean the outside of the shafts.
I have watched all your videos on arrow cresting and they are excellent! My only problem is I crest carbons only. I have tried the True North products(primer and paints) with limited success. Do you have a video on cresting carbons? Products for carbons?
@@addictivearchery1123 If I was to try TN products again can you tell me your process in priming carbon shafts. I take steel wool to the entire shaft then clean with acetone so the shafts are bare(no labels). Then I wash in hot soapy water and air dry. Then prime 3-4 times. All that done the arrows were still blotchy after crown dip? Any input would be appreciated,thanks. dipping.
@@randymcvey4629 what model of arrow shaft? I’ve had some brands do this. Despite all my efforts to prime the shafts. I don’t use or stock those brands any longer. Once you acetone the shafts you should not have to wash them. If you have to touch the surface you are going to dip, use some clean gloves to avoid getting oils on the shafts.
Nice shop. I which you were closer to me. Thanks for sharing
You have a nice setup in your shop thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much. Have you a link for the Brushes you use? Greetings from Germany

He is always making improvements. The SpinRite is the best cresting jig on the market, that is why I stock them in my store.

Another cresting question.If I crown dip with Acry-Lac can I crest with Testors enamels on carbon shafts?
Yes you can. Make sure you clean the shaft really well to remove all dust and oil residue from touching first. I use acetone to clean the outside of the shafts.

I use TN on all the Carbon arrows coming out of my shop. I’m planning on a carbon series this spring.

@@addictivearchery1123 The shafts I was dipping were GoldTip Seies 22's.
@@randymcvey4629 hmm. I haven’t worked with that specific model but GT traditional and traditional classics are some of my favorite shafts
Do you make your own arrow shafts?
No I don’t. I use wapiti cedar and Surewood Doug fir primarily.
@@addictivearchery1123 ok cool thanks for answering me. 👍
