This isn't turning into a Stinky type thing is it ;D

You don't need much tool wise or space wise. Indians would season their staves at the top of their teepees for a season or two and work on them during the winter inside.
You need a draw knife for rough cutting after you split out your staves, you need a couple of rasps, agressive and smoothing. You need a wood scraper for tillering once you get the bow roughed out. A padded vise or a old style sit on bench with a foot press built on it , they were called a bow horse and it is where you will spend the majority of the time, they can be simple or as complicated as you want but they make life a lot easier, most use foot pressure on the bottom to hold the stave at whatever position you want



you can also use the black and decker type little work clamp table that hold projects your working on, that is what I used a lot, fold up and put away when done, but they are awkward and you have to hold it to the ground with your feet while working, after a couple of Jack's it gets interesting ;D
