You can make one using a soldering gun but I don't have plans.

I have been looking into the same thing.  One design I saw uses an old model train transformer and thin wire.  Another one uses a battery charger and thicker ribbon.  Google "making a feather burner" and see what you get.

Or, check this out.  I might have to try this one.  Looks pretty simple.

Check the link, this is one i made and it works just fine. Ribbons you can get at 3rivers archery, just put 12v on them to get it hot (car battery, transformer) And DO NOT USE INDOORS  ;D

the easiest is to get a used iron and plug it in, put it on hottest, or linnen and you have a feather burner :D
