Where does a home builder start?

[Chef23]

Grips are more peoples gateway to building. Never ventured into the air compressor realm, seems like it takes a bit of technique.

All you need:
hook blade
Solvent
Grip Tape
Paint pan
paper towels

don't even need a work area, can do it over a sink.

past that.
workbench/vice is the next thing. will help with gripping and easier building/epoxy.

then sandpaper for prep, epoxy, something to mix the epoxy, heatgun, hosel brush (manual, or drill bit attachment) gloves to handle hot metal.

dremel/hacksaw is pretty important as well.

if you need to do graphite, shaft puller needed.




ruler, scale, swingweight scale, ferrule installer - all nice, but not needed.

I agree regarding grips. I did grips over our work sink for a long time without even a paint pan.

Is it as easy as starting with re-gripping?
-vice
-air compressor
-scale
Where does it go from there? club building
-shaft puller
-shaft cutting
-D balance
-heat & epoxy
-freq modulator
-bender

where do I begin?

When I saw the title, I thought, “Home building is a tough business to get into right now.” ha ha

I’d go shaft puller before gripping stuff. I find doing grips are a pain and I’d rather have the shop do that for a few bucks or sometimes they just take care of me.
