Trade Points?
« on: January 07, 2011, 11:30:46 am »
Does anybody have any trade points they'd like to get rid of? I'd like to make a few turkey whacker arrows for this spring. If so, what would you be looking for in trade?

Thanks,

I've got a good bit of bandsaw blade that makes real good trade points if you'd like to cut some out yourself.

Do you just cut out the lengths with a hacksaw Jonathan?

I just break the blade to shorten it.  I cut out the points with a dremel tool.  I've annealed all this, so you'd have to heat treat it, but after you do that it'll hold a razor sharp edge really well.  Makes pretty good lightweight knives, too.

I've never worked with bandsaw blades for points before - how do you break it? Put it in a vice with the length you want sticking out and whack it off?

Also, what would you be interested in for trade?

Just bend it back and forth a couple of times at the length you want and it'll snap.  Of course, this is easier with longer lengths.  I just break it down to smaller pieces for storage and cut what I want from there.

Sounds pretty good. What would you want in trade?

I'm open to pretty much anything.  I do need some sinew if you've got any, but I'm really not picky.

What's your sinew for and how much for enough stock to make 10 points about 1.5" long?

Ok. Sounds more than reasonable. Let me look at my stash and see how much I have. I'll get back to you on it Monday. Thanks.

I may have a few that won't be used.  Probably average 150gr.
How many do you need?
I'm not in a rush to gid rid of em, but if you need em, We'll figure out a trade.
I normally only use em on my canes but have been thinking about trying some on my woodies.
Takes a lot of effort to make a good hunting arrow.
