Adam, I have to ask what kind of shafts you used on the arrows in the third photo.  Those look awesome!  I'm guessing they are heat treated or scorched in some way.

Hey Pappy, are your arrow heads made from saw blade?  Those of you that make heads out of blades how do you mark the blade for cutting?  I used a grinder to cut mine trade points out...not real condusive to cutting straight lines so the heads need A LOT of work to get them balanced and true.  Any one have some advice?  PC

Paul, you can scratch the shape(trace a pattern)into the metal with an awl or trace it with a pencil.
