I was a little bored and decided to make a crester total cost about $10.00. sorry the pics are small I used my phone.
I didnt have any bare shafts so forgive the flu flu feathers...LOL

Looks great! I've got one that looks about the same.
Very nice, I have thought of doing something like that for some time, never got around to it. Cresting makes a nice looking arrow into a fantastic looking arrow.
It was the simplest thing I made so far. The only bad part is my drill doesnt have a low speed like my cordless did. A zip tie on the trigger helps hold it also.
Looks nice Tim. You saved a couple bucks and made a useful tool.
Real nice! How do you connect the arrow to the drill? I can't tell in the pic. Surgical tubing?
yes,I used a piece of an old alum shaft in the chuck and then the tube.
Where can you get surgical tubing?
Worn out slingshot rubber is what I'm going to use. I think some medical supply hours carry it as well
I made mine with a sewing machine motor and put a dimmer switch on it so I could control the speed and it works awsome.
An old kitchen mixer from Goodwill can be made into a usable crester also.
Go to a hardware store and get clear tubing,sold by the foot.
