if i bored out my taper tool to 3/8 could i just use 3/8 dowles for arrows ? its only a 64th bigger than 23/64. i got to get ready for squirrel season as cheap as i can . becouse i dont like lookin for arrows.
in a word, yes. But the dowels won't be 3/8th. They will vary a lot, and be out of round. You'd be better off to make a tapering fence for a belt sander. I would pick through them to get the straightest ones also.
Cat, get a bunch of ramins from John. Or the store. Bring them down and we'll run them through my dowell-o-matic. It slices and dices and turns out perfect tree rat arrows everytime. DEN
i have a big bunch of 3/8 dowels a guy gave me a while back. not sure what they are but he said they were old and the wood is real dark. but they look good and straight.
yea i want to try . but probly wont make it this weekend but maybe one day next ? do you have a spine tester to ? oh and maybe feathers points and sealer....hee hee hee
John, Look up the plans online for the 2 jays spine tester. I built one and it is very accurate. We tested it against Jim McGowans store bought one and it is dead nuts. Takes a little fiddlin to get it right but it is a nice tool. Holler at me if you need any help with it, I can give you some pointers I learned from mine. Bryan
