	The Front End Test Stand (FETS) project at RAL will use a 324 MHz 4-vane Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) to accelerate H⁻ ions from 65keV to 3 MeV. This paper will report on the current status of the production of the FETS RFQ and will detail the manufacturing strategy used to produce the major and minor vanes. In addition the inspection results will be shown and the experiences from the assembly and alignment operations will be shared. Finally, the design of the bead-pull apparatus, end flanges, tuners and pick-ups required to measure the frequency and field-flatness of the assembled RFQ will be discussed.
