We'll start with installing nocks.
Have your tools and glue ready to hand. I use Duco cement:
For prepping the nock taper I use, depending on the needs, a leatherman rasp blade, a wiffen taper tool, a rasp, and duco cement. I have my trutaper tool at hand in case I need to cut away more wood and sealant than normal. I did today.
You clean up your nock taper using the appropriate tool. I test the fit of the nock as I go. I try to get the nock as flush and alligned as possible. Then I install the nocks. My pictures didn't turn out all that well. Make sure you allign the nock properly to the grain. You want the nock alligned so the grain will be horizontal. You may mark the shaft to show the grain allignment by using a sharpee if you'd like. I just allign with the grain on the taper.
Here are the nocks installed.
