That's real slick. I wish I spoke German(I apologize if that isn't German) I think he was saying to wax the heck out of those little boards so the glue won't stick to them.

I built a single, I couldn't see myself needing more. It works good with a few problems maybe. I use garden center bamboo for arrows so they're not all the same diameter. This lets the arrow flop around a bit in the jig so you have to make sure the arrow is sitting just right. Also all the nocks have to be the same thickness. If the nocks are too big the arrow can rotate in the jig and the feathers will be slightly askew(my word for the day)

I forgot the feather clamp. This is 3 cloths pins and some thin plywood. I also use it for grinding feathers.

Added a "V" block to center the arrow better and results, looks a lot better than my previous jig ;D
And I tied the triangle block to it with a piece of string so I don't loose it. Kind of like idiot mittens ;)

Looks good Don I forgot to ask you if you Fletch them spiral or straight.  And do most of your arrows fly reasonably straight.?

Straight. I have to think about spiral. Do they go straight??? Yes, with a maybe not all.  I've only made a dozen or so with a wide range of spine while I'm learning what the heck is going on. But mostly they go straight, maybe not straight to the target. :(

I guess what I meant to say is do you attach the feathers straight on the shaft and not right or left so they spin.
