WARNING: Start over at step #1 again if you should fail at any
of the steps and discard your shaft.
You can make arrows, heavy bolts, or light bolts. SKIP step #4
if you're making bolts.
1. Cutting shafts.
For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to use log here as an example.
Have some wood and your handaxe based OHE out.
For arrows
CUT ARROWS FROM MY LOG
For heavy bolts
CUT HEAVY BOLTS FROM MY LOG
For light bolts
CUT LIGHT BOLTS FROM MY LOG
2. Paring your shaft.
Put away your handaxe and shafts in your container.
GET 1 SHAFT FROM MY <CONTAINER>
GET MY DAGGER
Your shaft should be in your right hand and dagger in your left.

3. Painting and cresting your shaft.
This step is OPTIONAL. You can skip this step and go straight to
#4. You can also use the combination of 2 paintsticks on one shaft.
Put your dagger away.
For painting - this dyes your whole arrow
GET MY PAINT FROM MY <CONTAINER>
PAINT MY SHAFT
For cresting - this adds bands or crests to your arrow
GET MY PAINTSTICK FROM MY <CONTAINER>
PAINT MY SHAFT
You must wait until the paint dries before proceeding to the next
step.
4. Nocking shafts.
This step is ONLY for arrows. Bolts go straight to step #5.
Get out your dagger again.

Put away your dagger.
Get out your crossbow or bow depending on what you're making.
Crossbows only

You MUST complete this step and the next within 25 seconds or else
the glue will dry.
8. Fletchings.
Put away your glue.
Get out your fletchings. You must have at least 3 fletchings in
your
bundle.

You MUST wait until the glue dries before proceeding to step #9.
9. Whittling a point.
Put away your fletchings.
Get out your trusty dagger again.

CONGRATS! If you've just finished the last step, you should
now hold an arrow or a bolt in your hand.
