Notcher/Finish Flaker
« on: September 09, 2011, 08:46:49 pm »
Well I finally got around to makin me a horseshoe nail notcher and man was I pleased! After using one of Shannons (SAWFILER) at the IBO Classic a while back, I knew I needed to make one if I was going to try to finish out points better. Heres some pics of how it turned out. Thanks Shannon!  :)

hmm...looks like I got another project.  Gonna have to cifer that one out.  What holds the nail from slipping up the handle?  Just head diameter?  Sweet points!!

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Is there anything better than wandering the earth with a stick and string in your hand?

Here's the ingredients  1/4"x   4" brass nipple , 1/4" female air hose barb, and a 1/4" brass cap' #5 horse shoenail an a pc of 11/32 dowel. Run ya about $12.00 for the parts if ya have nail  an arrow. Slip the right size pc of hose on over the nipple an have anice soft handle. ;D ;D ;D  Bob

Thanks for the kind words folks! Paul, thank you you but Im not sure about that..I still have ALOT to learn. Anyway, I took some pics of it broken down. Ingredients were just like Bob said but I used 3/8" stuff and 1/2" dowel. I had to cut some strips of 1/4" hose to get the nail to fit tight. Hope it helps!  :) :) :)

thank you sir for the breakdown now i know what i need i try to notch with my ishi stick and i usually end up knocking off the corner,  i did take a finish nail and slip in in my ishi and it worked pretty good gave the point to my mom before i thought of getting a picture though.
