I am looking to get into making my own clubs, mainly an iron set, but I think i will first start by trying to make myself a ne wedgde set. I have been readng some articles at golfworks, but still wanna get some clarity on a few things first from some of you guys. First, to properly assemble a wedge set, what tools will I need? I don't want to cut any corners, I wanna be able to play the clubs I make and be proud of them. Also, I am looking at getting the Maltby M series wedge heads (GW, SW, LW) with rifle 5.5 spinner shafts, any thoughts on these at all? I'll ask more later but this should get me on my way, I wanna order the tools first and make sure I am properly setup to start assembling these things.

Thanks in advance.
You're looking at a very nice setup. I sell a bunch with the same combo.
this is what you'll need: tools: tubing cutter or hack saw (tubing cutter works best), 220 grit sand paper (black) for sanding the tip and the back of the butt end after cutting) or bench grinder / sander will work too should you have one, measuring tape. suppies: epoxy, ferrules, grip tape , grips, golfworks grip solvent and epoxie wipes (my preference, but not necessary, mineral spirits or naptha will work too). put the heads on first, let epoxie set, than the grips. take your time and have fun with it. mike
not so much on the wedges for these reasons, steel shafts, slower swing speeds, shorter club lenght. with the wedges, you just don't put that much bend on the shaft, even at full speed to have the spine have an effect. the bend point is pretty much already determined by the type shaft you are installing, which is a good shaft(i use them myself). mike
