Yep - it never ends, though like most things, you can make it as simple or as complex as you like! I never bare shaft tuned an arrow until I started shooting carbon shafts a few years ago. Prior to that, all I shot were wood shafts and never felt the need. I still don't have an arrow saw - I just wrap the shaft with masking tape and use a hacksaw carefully cutting from opposite sides of the shaft, and use a disc sander to square up the cut ends. I will say a fletching jig is probably a must have - eventually you'll wear out feathers and want to start refletching...
