I am also relatively new to doing my own tuning and I've got to say that the posts stuck to the top of the "Technical" thread here are awesome. They are more than enough to get you started. The fact is, you know you need a press and a vice, and you probably know you need a few other things as well. Thats 90% of the battle. On top of that, you're interested in doing the work yourself - to me that says you've got some tinkering/mechanical skills, which adds another 5%. As soon as you make your first turn of a limb bolt or lock your bow into a vice or press you'll realize you absolutely know what you're doing.

Be forewarned though, you will spend the rest of your life chasing perfection. I've been at for only a year or so and I already am aware of this. However, the time and care you take to tune your own bow will undoubtedly result in a more accurate, higher performing weapon than you have right now.

As the Nike ads used to say - Just do it!
