Tom: You forgot to mention turning down heads from wooden blocks, drilling the hosels, shaping the heads, setting and sanding the inserts, masking the heads for staining or painting,etc.etc Not too many today have gone through these times, that's when we were truly called Club Makers, and not much money to be made, but we enjoyed doing it.

Mostly it was loft and lie and tricky reshafts - "tricky" in that back in the past there were still a lot of real, wooden headed clubs. So there was plenty of re-whipping, re-weighting, refinishing and some reshafting. There even was, gasp! actual wrapped leather grips on underlisting! Imagine doing that these days! I'd guess there aren't a dozen guys on these forums who have a clue as to how to work on a real, wooden club. I mean no disrespect, I thinks it's simply the way of things.
