fiddler's fletch serving tool

[JEB]

Neat looking tool.  I use a needle and thread.

Another thing that I do to the feather is that I heat up a very thin bladed knife and use it to smooth down the ends of the feathers on the arrow. This gives the thread a smooth transition from the shaft to the feather.  Much like I do when I make fishing rods.  I file down the foot of the quide to give it a smooth transition from the guide foot to the fishing rod.

Very inovative.  I love it

Hey Fiddler, as I said on PP with the addition of the rubber tracking ball and longer fletch lengths this is a work of genius.  You could easily sell these!

I've made a rough reproduction already, but it has some teething issues as I wanted to avoid the razor blade.  Yours seems the best option by far unless you can get the rubber wheel to work. 

Awesome work dude.

WillS, the rubber wheel is working great. I'm working on version 2.0. It's almost done. cheers fiddler49
