Title: steel aarow heads?
Post by: thegreatwhale on August 19, 2013, 06:25:17 pm: so i've made arrows when i was younger and my brothers and i used to flatten bigger nails and split the shaft, insert the tip, and wrap with heavy duty thread and glue. well that tiny bit of metalwork for tips led me into the world of blacksmithing, and i haven't dabbled in the arrowhead world much, but i'm definitely going to start! but my real question is this: if i made broadheads, bodkins long and short, field tips, that have cones so all you have to do is glue or rivet in place, how many people would be interested in that type of arrowheads?

some of those folks will likely be interested in bodkins.

Go for it! ;)
