DIY arrow dip tank-Traditional archery arrow making

Here’s my DIY arrow dip tank. Back in the late 60′s early 70′s I had a couple of Big Dipper tanks. They got lost or given away over the years. About 5 years ago I wanted to dip some more wooden arrows but I didn’t want to wait for shipment of a tube so I went to the home improvement store and bought the parts to make my own homemade arrow dip tank.
