I have posted about this before but I have a couple more questions.

I plan on setting up a place to work on my bow, in my room, on my desk so space is limited and so in money. I don't need every gadget right know.

I was plannig on getting the MTM bow matinence center to hold my bow while I work on it. But if I get that I would not be able to set my 2nd and 3rd axis. What should I do?
Next i'm going to get the Bowmaster bow press.
I also need to get a serving jig.

I would like a arrow saw but I have no place to put it.

I have allen wrenches, glue, arrow jig, vanes.

What else do I have to have? Thanks for any help.

I'm currently working on the same thing. I have asked "Santa" for an X-Press for Christmas!! In my opinion the Bowmaster is great for "emergency" in the field repairs, but it is a pain in the arse for everyday stuff. Believe me, I have been using it for 2 years like an everyday press. I recently have been adjusting a friend's peep with it, and it will work you to death!! However, it is safe if used correctly!

I have a Pro Chrono, Bow Vise, Apple 8000 RPM saw with dust cover, plus all the other basic tuning essentials. I must say that the G5 arrow squaring device is a very nice touch for really customizing/accurizing your shafts! You also must invest in a electronic grain scale. There is nothing like getting all your hunting shafts within +- .5 grain variance for consistancy! Also, you must have the Pelouze electronic scale for measuring draw weights. I found a 5 lb. difference between the Pelouze and my old spring scale. The pros use the Pelouze!!

My next venture will be string building! In about a year, I will be all over this board asking for help in that area!!!! Haha

My shop consists of a 400 SF space in the attic that we are going to finish this winter. My wife has promised me a room for my archery addiction!! HAHA

Good luck!

I used levels until I found out how big their tolorence is. A square is much more accurate and really reduces shoot tuning time. I found levels can be 1/8" off. Thats alot! Bowmaster works great, but I would definately be on the lookout for a real press, I know I am. The toad press looks good and affordable. Good luck.
