press, vise, drawboard, hamskea level and D-loop/serving are pretty much all you need. most people have cheap handtools around already, "d-loop pliers" dont do anything you cant do with needle nose lol
Awesome video, great information. Not as many years in the Archery world as you but I have a deep passion for it. Every video makes me want to push harder to be the best bowhunter possible and to create better content myself. Thanks for the push.
Arrowcutter3000: Dewalt compound miter saw with a diamond blade. Built my DIY shop last month. Substituted the bow vice with a bike repair stand to save some money. Now all I want to do is buy bows to work on……circle of life
Just getting set up in Hawaii. Super limited with shops. Setting up my garage to work on and fix anything for the bow. Placed first order from spokane valley today.
Excellent video guys! Going to save this and take some notes. I am hoping to have an area setup to work on my bow, build some arrows and tinker on other projects by early spring, so this video will help tremendously. Thank you for taking the time and putting this out.
You mentioned not wanting the last chance saw. But I think with the built in squaring jig its pretty slick. I'm with you on buy once cry once this saw included! Slowly working on getting my shop setup.
I'm new to archery, and I started to work on my bow, because In the shop I don't get what I want. /buy it and take it. / If I can do it, why I have to pay for it?? I changed my cables, tied d-loops, timing the cams, set up arrow rest, paper tuning.... All this for free. I made mistakes, but that's how we learn .MFJJ Videos helps a lot. 🙌😎 So if you want to learn, watch lots of videos. Helps a lot!!!
@@ElkShapeI’ve learned so much from you and MFJJ. I’ve bought a lot of stuff. Now I gotta work on the big stuff, press,vise,and saw. Getting there little by little still learning but getting there thanks for the vids and advice thank you all You Josh and Timmy. 🙏🏽
Arrow Saw - X-spot Mini/Decut Mini has been great for me but now that the full size is on sale for only like $20 more I'd probably go for that one if buying again. Some people complain that there is play in the mini but if you set it up correctly I have found it to be rock solid
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.
Yes the LCA arrow saw is expensive. But like any other tool you do get what you pay for. It is more than a saw but an arrow build station. You actually get three tools in one. Is it a lot for a home saw maybe but you guys build enough arrows it would be money well spent and last the "crew" a life time.
What square was the second one you mentioned? The one MFJJ told you to use? I see you only posted the first one you mentioned and not the second. Another great video!
It's the Saunders Forked Horn bow square. Apparently, they discontinued it on lancaster, which is why it's so hard to find. I went through all the comments as well, trying to find it, lol.
I saved a bunch of money by building my own last chance style bow press. I also built a string jig and stretcher. So I make strings for me and my buddies. After figuring out how to work on my own stuff. there's not many shops I would trust to do it the way I want it
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.
Don't think you mentioned an arrow squaring device. I use one made by Firenock. Having both ends of the shaft perfectly squared goes a long way in building an accurate arrow.
Nice shop. I’ve been in the process of building one for a while now and I have 2 things left. Bow press and arrow saw. I’ve even been building my own arrows for a couple years now but I just go to my pro shop and they cut them to size for me. I definitely gotta get a arrow saw. I have a cheap bow vise though. 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. It will be nice to not have to worry about going to the pro shop all the time.
I’ve learned so much from all of you guys, and I actually started building my own little shop to work on my own bow. Keep the good info coming and hope you get 100k soon!
Arrow saw: Weston Arrow Saw 8000 RPM (52-0501-W) I've been using this saw for the past 10 years for the 3 archers in my home as well as hundreds of. 4H Kids. Love the thin wheel that sands the edges smooth as they cut.
I really like the Carbon Express arrow Saw! It cuts extremely well and it also comes with a carbon dust collector. It’s inexpensive and it hasn’t let me down since! 🤙🏻🔨🔨
Good job breaking it down. Wish you would have spent more time on the draw board. Also, Chris Bee did a review on a saw that was affordable. I know y’all are friends so you can check that out.
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.
Just had this conversation with thr Mrs's tonight. The closest thing to me is a big box store 40 minutes away, and while they're nice enough they just don't do very good work (no soft nock, peep is twisting and barely tied in, d loop is starting to spin) so I just have to start saving up to buy the tools to do it myself. Appreciate thr run through and build out costs, definitely a process that will take a good bit of time to buy along the way.
Gday mate. love your channel. watching from down under Australia. have set up my own DIY bow shop I live miles from any pro shop. Just worry using my draw board attachment on bow press to check my cam timing. Any tips for safety and confidence?
Great video. Thanks for the information. please stop zooming in and out so much. Making me nauseous bro! Love what y'all do. Keep it coming. Would love to see a video on your truck setup. The truck not the extra gear.
Hey guys , always great content . Someone is really good with videography. Interesting introductions and cut outs . So, I have a question . Do any of you men have an opinion on Spinning Inserts when it is in operation with fixed blade broad heads ?
this is basically my set up, ive had it for a little over a year and was one of the best purchases ive made. love killing deer with bows that I have set up/string swapped, tuned 100% myself. ive been able to help friends as well. very satisfying
Talk to me about getting started in archery on a budget… Rifle is easy- spend 300 on a used rem 700 30-06 and go to town… upgrade as $$ allows. Walk me thru archery basics to get into the field! Thanks
Hey Dan, I have the Apple Pro arrow saw. Just now getting started with my archery shop. Love the elkshape channel, big fan always great tips, tools and challenges,.... But I'll send you my arrow saw if you want to trade for a mathews bow. Great video
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.
x-spot pro arrow saw does a great job for me cutting my arrows. I am slowly putting together my own garage shop myself and I have been happy with that arrow saw.
My home shop looks very similar mostly all the same stuff. But mine is not as clean or organized right now. Target stand I made and my paper stand also home made. Desks were for fletching and other things were free from a nursing home my mom works at! Shop is 1/4 of my basement. Crazy the stuff you collect over the years.

A miter saw with a cut off wheel and make a little wood cradle for the arrow as a zero clearance. Phenomenal cuts. How I build all my arrows.
I just got my carbon express saw from mfjj works great can't beat it for $135
Decut Archery makes a great arrow saw for $209. I think you would find it to be very reliable.
Weston makes a good one for 180ish as well works great.
yes, i am all so running the decut saw. Built well, small, and compact for easy storage..
Decut for the win… grab an extra couple blades they’re brittle and if your wife moves it they will snap.
Deceit arrow saw is awesome
Decut
press, vise, drawboard, hamskea level and D-loop/serving are pretty much all you need. most people have cheap handtools around already, "d-loop pliers" dont do anything you cant do with needle nose lol
MFJJ did a review on the new carbon express saw and it looked good.
I use the Carbon Express arrow saw at the house. Price isn't bad and seems solid. MFJJ did a review video about them.
Happy with my Decut arrow saw! 🤘
Awesome video, great information. Not as many years in the Archery world as you but I have a deep passion for it. Every video makes me want to push harder to be the best bowhunter possible and to create better content myself. Thanks for the push.
Right on
@@ElkShape The carbon Express archery saw is money great saw. No cons that I can see. It’s quiet and cuts clean arrows.

Weston arrow saws are solid, but for the 50 extra I think the Decut is worth the money!

I use a WESTON arrow saw. Not too expensive works great
Love your guys hard work and drive to be better archers and mechanics… keep up the good work!
I bought the carbon express from mfjj last week. It’s great for the weekend guy
Noted!
Running the full size Decut saw with the foot pedal. No complaints so far. Solid and well built. Also has micro adjustments for length.
What i am most interested is the stand u have you OMP vise set up on. Is that something Jake built or did u buy it from somewhere?
Hi Dan
I second the Carbon Express saw. Bought one from Josh! $150 great saw for the buck.
Weston arrow saw great easy saw under 200
I'm new to archery, and I started to work on my bow, because In the shop I don't get what I want.
/buy it and take it. /
If I can do it, why I have to pay for it?? I changed my cables, tied d-loops, timing the cams, set up arrow rest, paper tuning....
All this for free. I made mistakes, but that's how we learn .MFJJ Videos helps a lot. 🙌😎

I bought a weston arrow saw. It's sturdy and works great. $159.99 on Amazon
Ask Josh I believe he did a review on them and found one for 200$ and he said it was really good
What square was the second one you mentioned? The one MFJJ told you to use? I see you only posted the first one you mentioned and not the second.
Another great video!
It's the Saunders Forked Horn bow square. Apparently, they discontinued it on lancaster, which is why it's so hard to find. I went through all the comments as well, trying to find it, lol.
X-Spot Mini Arrow Saw. Solid option. Fairly inexpensive, square cuts.
MFJJ sells a different one. He ran a video a few weeks ago. Lol.
I saved a bunch of money by building my own last chance style bow press. I also built a string jig and stretcher. So I make strings for me and my buddies. After figuring out how to work on my own stuff. there's not many shops I would trust to do it the way I want it
Personally I run a Weston and it's been very good to me. Cuts well, holds rpms pretty good, and very well built!
Westin arrow saw. About $150.

Weston arrow saw! Paid like $150 years ago brand new on eBay. It has made numerous dozens of arrows.
Don't think you mentioned an arrow squaring device. I use one made by Firenock. Having both ends of the shaft perfectly squared goes a long way in building an accurate arrow.
What stand is the omp on?

💯 agree I purchased the same and haven’t had any issues

That is awesome!
Get a carbon express from MFJJ
I don’t have my own bow shop but the Decut saw does me good
Hey Dan, your buddy Josh sells a arrow saw from carbon express for a good price.
Noted!
Arrow saw: Weston Arrow Saw 8000 RPM (52-0501-W)
I've been using this saw for the past 10 years for the 3 archers in my home as well as hundreds of. 4H Kids.

I really like the Carbon Express arrow Saw! It cuts extremely well and it also comes with a carbon dust collector. It’s inexpensive and it hasn’t let me down since! 🤙🏻🔨🔨
Mfjj did a review on this and gave it a thumbs up
Carbon Express has a really good one. I just bought an extra one for the shop. Well worth the money. Better than Weston
Good job breaking it down. Wish you would have spent more time on the draw board. Also, Chris Bee did a review on a saw that was affordable. I know y’all are friends so you can check that out.
I bought a weston arrow saw and I'm pretty happy with it
Definitely Decut arrow saws, I have their "mini" option one which is the cheapest and it works great! 289 CAD

Carbon express arrow saw is only 200 but you can get them all day for 150 it’s actually really good
Great video. Thanks for the information. please stop zooming in and out so much. Making me nauseous bro! Love what y'all do. Keep it coming. Would love to see a video on your truck setup. The truck not the extra gear.
Hey guys , always great content . Someone is really good with videography. Interesting introductions and cut outs .
So, I have a question . Do any of you men have an opinion on Spinning Inserts when it is in operation with fixed blade broad heads ?
My bowshop closed. Mine cost $1200. Table, EZ green bow press
press,draw board, and bow vise.
Is tying in nock sets a must? Shop I went to only put on dloop but no nock sets. Worried that dloop is going to tighten on my nock over time
screw that, having a compound bow is stupid. I'll stick with my hand made bow thanks.
this is basically my set up, ive had it for a little over a year and was one of the best purchases ive made. love killing deer with bows that I have set up/string swapped, tuned 100% myself. ive been able to help friends as well. very satisfying

Get some pegboard hook locks. it was painful to watch you gingerly grab your tools haha.
What bow square is that (the one you said you and Josh prefer). Thanks! Love the vids!

Get a Decut they cut pretty nice and square. Haven’t had any issues been using it for 5 years now!
Like you said earlier- “buy once, cry once”. Get the LCA Revolution Arrow Saw.

Why is it so easy to drop that podium level, and so hard to glue the bubble back on true to a hamskea level?
Hey Tim. Can you do a review of the new Redline Torch bow sight??
Im sure Jake could fab up a solid arrow saw. Just need a grid and a rotary motor/saw.
That new saw MFJJ just reviewed I’m digging it. And only a buckfiddy!? Hop on that train!
hey brother just wondering what release do u shoot im in the market for know right know thx
Good Video! To complete the list.. Every diy bow shop needs a target...
Buy the decut arrow saw... Works great
what about the new carbon express arrow saw? mfjj just did a video on it.
Great video
WESTON makes a great arrow saw. I have one and have zero issues

@elkshape I love that you guys are encouraging other people to do this. I have a channel because of your words. I thought wtf why not.
is that a puffy flannel or do you have a case of the SWOLiosis today?
Carbon express just came out with a new arrow saw try that one Josh made a video on it
Yo Dan, you need some zip ties or tie wire on those peg board hooks ! Nice shop
You guys should do a vertix or vxr vs phase 4
So much good info as always! Got my 2023 elk hunt set up! You guys are a Big part of my journey!!! Thx for all your efforts.
Awesome! Thank you!
