2Are you kidding me - the top ** 5 ** results in Google for "custom web service in sharepoint" tell you exactly what you need. – Ryan Jun 30 '12 at 20:19

Yes I know, which is why I answered. Excuse the frustration but it had to have taken more effort for the OP to ask the damn question than to put the most obvious phrase into google and pick any one of the top 5 answers - any one at all. No google foo required. – Ryan Jul 01 '12 at 22:33

Below are a few links you may find useful. Unfortunately this is a very broad question, so it isn't possible to include all the details here.
Tutorials
MSDN Walkthrough for a basic web service:
Creating a Custom ASP.NET Web Service
A SharePoint 2007 web service walkthrough (with downloadable code):

Tools
The most important tool is obviously going to be Visual Studio. I haven't heard of any tools to specifically help you with this project, although there's a generally useful list of SharePoint Development tools here:

See Arjun Chakraborty blog post, except the part where you push web.config with deploy to the hive and overwrite the existing ISAPI web.config. Edit your config into the ISAPI web.config.
