Title: New Jig
Post by: WestTexan on April 23, 2013, 11:33:00 PM
I was needing a string jig for awhile...got tired of trying to wax and stretching my strings and serving them on bows so came up with this late yesterday. It works like a champ and can be used for other things as well. It's made from 2" 14 gage Sq tubing and 5/8 sq bar stock and 3/4 PVC with a 1/4" hole to hold the tips of the bow to seal. It's 78" long and clamps to my table. The bungie cord is for holding the string tight till I give it a push till its tight and locked down.
