In addition to the string jig (which you could probably make if you have basic woodworking skills – and, of course, the inclination!) then another important item is the string server. This holds the spool of string serving thread and ensures an even tension as it is wound around the string.
I would suggest starting with Dacron, if for no other reason than it costs around ¼ the price of Fastflight and (from personal experience) the first few strings are likely to be pants!
: It may be worth talking to people at your club - they may be happy to provide some materials and equipment in exchange for the strings you make (at least, once you get the hang of it!) You nay also be able to get some first-hand guidance.
