Over the next few weeks I'll add to this thread to help folks get started building selfbows.
Here is a simple tool to build to help our tillering process that a good friend of mine came up with. I figure we will get some tools assembles to start with.

A couple Rasps like a Nickelson #48 or $49 cabnet makers rasps
A small size power saw file.
A pair of large Fiskers plane edge scissors that screw apart. Makes two of the best scrapers you ever used.
Bandsaw or hatchet or short machete.
I'll add more later and we will speak of vises and clamps.
Sorry, I couldn't get the direct link to work but you can easily click the link from the link I posted.
