Hey guys, I want to start building all my own clubs and I was wondering if you guys could help me make a list of all the tools I need to do this:

I'm looking to do everything from scratch

Spining the shafts

butt trimming, tipping and installing

Loft/Lie adjustments

Frequency

length, swing weight, etc.

Gripping

Right now I have a vice, shaft cutting machine, and all the typical things such as grip tape, shafting beads, epoxy, etc.

What else do you recommend I buy?

Much appreciated!

Rob.

I started club building about 2 years ago so I'll share what I started with:

1) work bench. I built one in the garage about 6ft by 2.5ft deep and it's a must for me to have all my club building tools and supplies laid organized

2) basic vise clap about 2.5" to 3" wide. You will need one of those rubber shaft holder to protect your shafts when mounted in the vice

3) hook blades (for cutting off old grips)

4) grip removal tool (if you want to save grips) I got mine from golf smith

5) small hand held butane torch (also from golf smith) used for removing epoxied heads.

6) hear gun (for removing graphite shaft epoxied heads). Height heat from butane might damage graphite shafts

7) pipe cutter

8) other basic hand tools, mallet, pliers, files, sanding paper, wire brush (to clean hosel), digital scale (for swing weighting), eyc...

9) good supply of ferrules, double sided tape, build up tape, grip solvent, two-part 24hr epoxy, brass shins, acetone, etc... You will make lots of mistakes so extra supplies is a good idea

I I have not done any spinning yet )because I'm lazy and would require me disassemble my clubs), and will none be doing any lofty/lie adjustment since a good Mitchell tool is $500+. Local golf shops charges $5 per adjustment so I'd do that instead

I would suggest starting with regripping first and see how you like it before taking the plunge on buying all of the tools.

Rob I bought a complete golf works assembly kit with swing weight scale and everything a while back. Have not even opened it. Pm me if interested I just don't think I'll ever get into my own building.
