Alright, I have read for years all the book's and on trad gang. I have done few self bow's and I have decided I am going to build a laminated bow, straight up Hill style. I figure a 10" craftsman bandsaw, a belt sander should be all the equipment I need, right? No heatbox, just form and smooth on with bike innertubes, and tiller stick on wall, I missing anything?
I'm sure if there are any tools you've forgotten, you'll be reminded when the need arises. I've been making bows for 9 years, and I can tell you that fiberglass bows are the easiest and self-bows are the most difficult. So if you can do self-bows, this should be a cinch.
I use a table saw a bunch. I would struggle to build one without it.

You'll also need something to sand the riser block and feather the fadeouts to paper thickness. I use a sanding drum mounted in my drill press.
maybe extra blades for your bandsaw ?
