I got rained out of work today,so I decided to work on making some feathers.I've made a bunch of fletching in the past with a little chopper.Splitting the quill was always a pain in the neck for me using a x-acto knife or box cutter.I had an idea and broke out my rotary cutter I use for leather work. Works like a charm!Fast and easy to keep it right down the center. Just thought I'd pass on the tip.

Never even thought of that. Excellent idea! Thanks!
Nice.. Ive got to go get one
Good idea.Gotta get one.
Dumb question? Where do you get them at?
Any quilting shop will have em, sewing area at Wally World should have em, make sure you have the mat as they are super sharp.
My wife had one of those :bigsmyl:

Don't know if they have Jo-Ann fabric stores out that way,but that's where they came from. My wife shops there alot and got them for me on a 50% off sale. Gotta love her. :D
Jo-Ann's is where I bought mine, also. They were having a sale so I picked up the cutter and a pack of 5 cutting wheels. That should last me awhile :thumbsup:
I use mine to clean up the leading angle on my chopped fletches. They look much nicer and keep the rough edge away from my hand.
Never seen one before, but yeah gonna check one out, thanx for sharing.
Great idea.
