Default homemade proshop?

Now I know that this has been posted before and all but I've ran search after search and nothing has come up. My question is what do you need to setup your own proshop to repair bows, adjust draw length/weight, fletch arrows and such? Thanks for the help-m.s.

fletching jig
arrow cut saw
string jig
serving jig
bow press
GOOD set of allen wrenches
paper tuning rack/setup and something to stop the arrows

that's about it.

Having all that equipment does not a pro shop make.

This post and some others got me thinking about setting this up. Any good books, videos, etc that woudl be key to have in a library as someone was learning to do this on their own?

I figure everyone had to learn somewhere and we don't all know someone who could tech us.

I have several bows that I would like to play around with as my son get's older and I don't want to always need to go to a pro shop.

Thanks.

Look in the technical forum for a post I made three weeks ago or so announcing the release of a new tuning DVD. This one was put out by George Ryals, better known as GRIV on a few forums. The post has got the link to how to order it; I'm about 1/4 of the way through it, and it's really good.
