Yeah, I remember going to look for it months ago and not finding it.  Another, "I could've sworn it as here"! moment.

With endless bowstring jigs there will be a bit of experimenting to see how best to set the arm(s) for nailing a specific bowstring length.  Add to this how the strands are laid on the jig pots (they must be layered for consistency and never overlapped), how many strands, the type of string material, string material thickness, and equally important is strand tension as each goes around the jig posts.  There is a bit of acquired crafting and practice with a jig to be able to best get the finished string length to a desired length that will allow adding some measure of twists for rounding off the string. 

A Tsuru knot Flemish bowstring is just the easiest, fastest, fully adjustable, most secure bowstring anyone can make anytime, anywhere, and no jig required or wanted.  A perfect way to get any archer into making their own quality bowstrings that can be easily tweaked for length and thus brace height.

Clay Hayes shows how to make a one loop Flemish bowstring, with a bowyer's knot for the bottom limb loop - just substitute a Tsuru knot for the bowyer's knot and y'all are good to go.  Start twistin'!!!
