    Re: Club Making

    You're venturing down a dark path, padawan.




    That said, it depends largely on what you want to do, and how fast or easily you want to do it (this is usually directly correlated to how much money you can spend).

    I've been doing it for two years, but I'm the type of individual that once something captures my attention, I pursue it passionately.

    My shop includes the following major tools:

    Chop Saw
    Belt Sander
    Loft and Lie Machine
    AccuMade 3D ruler
    Frequency Analyzer and associated tip weights
    NeuFinder 4 (currently under repair/reassembly)
    Shaft puller
    Heat gun
    Vise
    Air compressor (tank and regulator)
    FLO Laser jig
    Sanding sponge
    Box cutter knife
    Hook blade knife
    500w halogen lamp (x2)


    I have the following supplies lying around:

    Epoxy
    Epoxy sticks
    Epoxy wipes
    2" masking tape
    Double sided grip tape
    Grip solvent
    Soap/water solution
    Acetone
    Liquid glass


    I would start by regripping a set of irons. That would be a minimum investment, IMO. Grip solvent, double sided tape, and a knife (well, and grips).

          There are probably a hundred books covering this, I used Ralph Maltby book, and it has served me quite well. His website "GolfWorks" provides some of the best components IMHO. But has mentioned this can get expensive as a hobby initially, but well worth the effort, there is nothing like playing with a set of club completely built and spec'ed out by you. GolfWorks offer several at home courses, and thier forums are first rate, they make an effort to answer all questions, excellent staff. You can learn a great deal just from the forums.

            Just as an aside, Ralph sold out this year to Golf Galaxy, IIRC. Time to retire, I guess.
