My tools are a little basic. Farriers rasp, a couple different draw knives, chainsaw file, and sand paper. I have a band saw, but it is 12" and the blade is too weak. I do use a hatchet alot.
Almost forgot all my homeade scrapers.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

People maybe forgot to mention... a good metal vise with pads to hold the bow at the handle, not a woodworking vise.  It made ALOT of difference for me.  Some folks use a bow horse.  But the vise is easy to get somewhere used.  4" wide jaws work fine.  I asked a while back and that's what the answer post pics showed.  Pawn shop... yard sale... friend's garage...
