So envious, maybe one day I’ll be able to get a press. Right now I’m using a modified bicycle vice to hold my bow. But I’m not sure how you can work in a “black” shop….then again I wear glasses too. I’m using a Bohning Cauldron at 3 degrees R helical for my Max Stealth vanes, and a Bitz with the R clamp for my 4 fletch target arrows using Q2i vanes. I also built my own arrows spinner using bearings out of fidget spinners. Hey, I’m a senior on a fixed income. Gotta make do.

Knowledge is power, so learning to work on your own bow is a good thing. Not every archery shop will help you learn how to build a bow. I decided a few years ago that I wanted to learn the process and when I asked a pro shop to show me the ropes, they replied, "if we do that you won't need us any longer." I put together a home archery shop over the course of a couple of years that closely resembles what you recommend. Now, when I need to change something on my bow, I simply go to the archery shop and do it myself. No driving, waiting, begging for work to be done. I get to learn, change things and put them together the way I want. Thanks for the work.

Westin arrow saw. About $150. One thing about diy is that you can do it all as soon as you want. No waiting on a pro shop, no “Friday” or “Monday” style half ass bow maintenance. Plus, the less time you are spending wasting a techs time with stuff you should be doing, is time they can spend getting new people really dialed in and new people really need that.

Had both the bubble levels come off my podium archery string level. Also had the glue fail on a podium archery stabilizer. Reached out to Josh on the stabilizer, he was going to send me a new stab but it was an easy fix on my end (J/B weld). So excellent customer service there. For the string level; I just reglued the bubbles back on the with gorilla super glue but my confidence level dropped a notch on podium products. I get so much info and entertainment from both Josh and Dan on this channel that I want to support them both but also wanted to give some honest feedback. Dan had the same issue with the string level so probably not a one-off.

I would love to get the OMP vise. They are awesome and worth the money. The arrow level Hamskea just come out with is a must to. I can’t wait to get my shop together.

I totally agree that in order to know your equipment, you need to understand how it works. So, going over the shop platform aspects that are working for me.... LC ultimate bow press and drawboard, OMP wide vise , LC saw with my own add ons for an ultimate bench arrow tool. (spine and broadhead testing/adjusting). LC fletching, arizona fletching jigs. OMP serving jigs with the LC reserve pro. Homemade pneumatic string stretcher. BAP wide jig for the strings. and of course the LC poundage gauge (an important tool) the average gram scale to measure weights, kind of stuff. This addiction will cost you more than a dollar. I appreciate everyones' input, and thank you for yours.

Coming from the other side of the world, imports are double. A $425 press becomes $950 incl shipping & taxes by the time it reaches home. For over a decade had to build my own tools and archery talk has been the library for it all. Built a vise, made new targets, a draw board and was lucky enough to have a friend bring me a bow masters bow press & a fletching jig from the US. 3 years in, I needed an arrow saw. During the lockdown, built a string jig and tensioner. Suddenly I had other archers and students come over to fix their bows, that ended up with me teaching during the weekends. So more bows, recurves and compound. Now, badly in need of good tools. LCA, BAP, OMP & Coop’s it is. 10 years of DIY has taught me the value of quality built tools even if it costs me double.

and you can use the same base to implement broadhead tuning and spine testing. One machine for arrow building = less benchtop space used. LC needs to add to the saw kit. (You can add a dial indicator, the broadhead adaptor/insert and fulcrum/lever assembly and make this saw a homerun.) Or you can do this yourselves and make your own homerun. Either way, it still is a chunk of change at first.
