Well done Todd I've made a few of them in the past but three in a line and tapering down into a triangle shape, once you've drilled the holes then below that you can shape them and the saw cuts in the top the flights fit into so the drill holes are the length of the dart. They sell well. :thumbs: Roly

 

Found a couple of Pics Todd they're about 30 years old

My question is how did you put the pictures on them?

hi Marg what i do to put the pictures on things is your everyday house hold waxed paper in my onkjet printer.cut the waxed paper the same with as your printer paper 8.50" the length o find do really make a difference but you can cut the length to if you prefer.just get you pictures you want if there is any writing in the picture be sure you reverse it before printing it out.i find tricky to get the waxed paper in the printer right by itself so i usually take a couple sheets of ordinary printer paper and put on top of it and side in printer slot then remove the couple of sheets of paper you placed on top of the waxed paper.i dont good all rge time some do get caught in the printer.once you get it printed dont touch the ink cayse you will ruin it place it on the wood ink side down of course becareful not to repossession it or its ruined as will ans you will have to sand it of and do it again ouce you have it in place hold with firm grip and rub the picture with your finger or gr t someones help. (Thats what i do) i alst use and old credit card and go over it as will just for good measurement.peel of the waxed paper and your done.sometime they don't come out the best might have to do them a second time.and i also found themat the smoother your wood is the better.hope this helps.
