Default Arrow build along using Port Orford Cedar

When crafting arrows its advisable to ensure you have all your supplies on hand prior to starting. Usually I do, sometimes I don't. Something as simple as not having a glue stick can hold you up, which is obvious.

Here is my list of items:
Shafts - 1 doz POC 60/65# 11/32" dowells
Nocks - 1 doz white 11/32" T nocks
Fletching - 2 doz off white 5 1/2" shield cut turkey feathers, 1 doz natural barred
Points - 1 doz 125 grain 11/32" fieldpoints

Consumables:
Duco Cement for fleching and nocks
Feral-tite for points
Denatured Alcohol for cleaning points and fuel for alcohol burner
Spar Urethane for sealing shafts
Fiebings alcohol based leather dye for staining shafts - Russet, Black, and Turquoise
Modeling glue for cresting
Q-Tips for cleaning points
0000 steel wool
220 grit sand paper
Shop rags - the blue disposable work great

Tools:
Dip Tube for sealing
Fletching jig(s) - JoJan mono-fletcher
Cresting jig - Bohning Junior Crestor
Nock/Point taper tool
Hook - for straighting shafts
Pliers - for holding HOT objects (points)
Knife - who knows? you can always use a good knife
Paint brushes - Camel and Sabil (use natural hair brushes for best results when cresting)
Saw - I use a coping saw with a fine tooth crosscut blade
Tape measure or suitable measuring standard
Work bench (wife got mad when I got paint on her kitchen table)
Hanging rack or line for drying shafts
Lighter

Will be back with a bunch of pictures and initiation of this project.
