 I thought I would share with you my homemade feather burner.

First I strip them. Then I place them I my cut feather form with a clamp

[Renacs]

Then I usually cut the excess with scissors then hold I've the heat gun

[Renacs]

It that simple and shoots great

This might sound pretty dumb but what is the advantage of burning the feathers? From your pics i can make out that you scorch the rim of the feathers, does that make the "hairs" of the feathers melt together? And if so, why would you do that?

[Renacs]

The reason is that it is consistent and fast. Without having to spend money on a commercial feather burner. You can cut the template any style u want.  I believe metal might be a better temp. ,but it may get too hot.
