If you want to get into fletching your own arrows, you’re going to need a fletching table. You could go out and buy a commercial one, but they can be pricey. A better option is to make your own! With just a few supplies and some easy-to-follow instructions, you can have your very own fletching table up and running in no time.

Here’s what you’ll need:

– A piece of wood (we used plywood, but anything sturdy will do)

– A saw (to cut the wood to size)

– Sandpaper (to smooth the edges of the wood)

– Glue (to attach the feathers to the shaft)

– Clamps (to hold everything in place while the glue dries)

– Feathers (you’ll need three per arrow)

And here’s how you do it:

1. Cut your piece of wood to the desired size and shape. We went with a simple rectangle, but feel free to get creative! Just make sure that it’s large enough to comfortably accommodate all of your arrows.

2. Use sandpaper to smooth any rough edges on your piece of wood. This step is important for safety reasons – you don’t want anyone getting sliced by a stray splinter!

3. Apply glue to the shaft of your arrow, then attach one of the feathers so that it’s pointing straight up. Repeat this step for the other two feathers, making sure that they’re evenly spaced around the shaft.

4. Place your arrow on the fletching table, then clamp everything in place so that the feathers don’t move while the glue dries. Repeat this process for each arrow that you want to fletcher.

5. Let everything dry overnight, then remove the clamps and voila! You’ve now got a batch of beautifully fletched arrows, all without spending a fortune on commercial equipment.

If you’re looking for an easy and affordable way to make a fletching table, look no further! With just a few supplies and some simple steps, you can easily create your own fletching table that will save you time and money. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
