Anyone crest without a machine?

I've always done it by hand since I'm the only one I need to satisfy. I use testers paint and I end up cresting over my poly without any other clearcoat over the top and haven't had issues though I'm my only critic.

I thought of using a Lee Zip trim for case trimming. Pull the string 1/4 hp and 1700 rpm can also buy a universal 3 jaw chuck a v block and guide done

Cordless drill + vise + tape on trigger + you may be a red neck

I'm going to give this a shot after turkey season. You guys who like to free hand it might try putting art work on an arrow. Some guys on paleo plane paint lizards and such around the shaft. I want to try my hand at geometric designs like the Persian arrows in The Traditional Bowyers Bible.
