Endless Jig…cheap! Should I?

[Oliverstacy]

I've been kicking around the idea of making endless strings for a while and I ran into someone today that has an Apple Archery endless jig that hasn't been use for $50.  Looked around some today and they look like they go for $300+ and I'm assuming this is too good of deal to pass up.

How hard are endless strings to make?  I guess if I taught myself to make Flemish I should be able to make endless strings.

Just wondering what people think?  I should get this jig correct?

Thanks,

Josh

I think I made mine for the cost of 4 bolts about a dollar.....I can build a lot of bows for 300 and even for 50 I would do a little search here for a how to build one.... just my thoughts in these economic times.

For me endless strings are easy to make....

I'd say go for, especially if it's nice and rigid. $50 versus $300 ???

Beauty of it is, once you learn how to make strings, whenever there's a problem, you can make a string right now, Bob's yer Uncle.

Endless strings are not hard to make, just practice and don't take 'endless' literally,
if you've wound up a whole spool of string, go
back and review the instructions

For $50 I'd buy that jig in a heartbeat.

I'd buy it.  I used a homemade jig for a while, but it didn't hold up.  Spent well over $300 (wholesale) on a Yellowstone Dream Machine.  Once word gets out, you'll get orders--at least I do.

Endless aren't hard to make--probably easier than flemish, but it takes a little practice and some good instruction goes a long way.

I think endless strings would be cool on some of the old bows I'm doing Josh
