And in case you haven't figured out the search feature, here is a previous thread that has some dvd info and jig info.  Good luck!

I did a web search and found a good how to for old style double foot. I like this method because it can be done with minimal tools. If you are looking for four footed (fluted) I believe there was a video made on how to do that. Also three rivers sells the jig.

I really enjoy making footed arrows durning the winter months.
