Says a lot about a man willing to show the people how to make a jig, and string for that matter, while he sells strings himself. Kudos to you Sir and thank you for the information and all the great videos. God bless you.

I made the jig , but I used golf tees and they worked great.

@blackened144 4 years ago

If you ever make another one, when sanding the curve into the dowel so the string doesn't slip, instead of sanding it by hand, put the dowel into your drill and spin it as you sand, that will make it more uniform.

Thank you for this video... On my way to get my lumber and pegs with my string on order.... Gonna be fun I know... Blessings to you.👍🙏

@scotthruska4906 4 years ago

What size is the dowls

@danielbaitup8398 2 years ago

Why does one video say this jig makes a 66" string then in another a 70 at the same peg. Unless it was altered and not explained?

@DarcyPosein 1 year ago

For a different material use golf tees as pegs.

@janhudson4501 2 years ago

Well made mate looks really good. I might try it with golf tees as my pins. Thanks buddy

@oliverjocher2999 6 years ago

You could put the dowels into a handheld drill and present the now spinning dowels to the also spinning sanding head for a nice uniform finish...just a thought

Finished my first Stringamajig® today - Thank you for the dimensions. I used a 'leaf' from an antique table (we had sitting around) for the board. I love linseed oil for the finish. Someday I will try the gun oil, perhaps.

@gamefactory6227 4 years ago

hello can you send me a document on all the hoals on the bowstring jig

@EhrichZollinger 8 months ago

Are there any patterns out there for a very short strings? Like something for a 36ish inch short bow

Been watching this guy a lot. Made this jig and the tillering jig. Wont lie drilled 2/3's of my holes in the wrong spot on the first one . Love to be able to uplaod a photo. Well. Learning everythingi know on how to make a bow. Coodoos big dog...thx

I like to use hardened trim nails for the stationary pegs. They look like blued finish nails, but since they are hardened they don't bend easily. For the movable peg, I prefer a joist hanger nail. They are galvanized like a roofing nail, but the head is much smaller so I don't catch the string on it. They are also fatter than the trim nails, so they are harder to fumble around with.

Thanks man, you go a little fast but I subscribed because you are definitely the best bow channel

@denniscleveland669 2 years ago

I wonder if golf tees would work for the pegs?

@Caram0n 2 years ago (edited)

distance from 1 of the top 2 pins to the top central pin is not 5". It's the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the other 2 sides 5" & (1 7/8" / 2 = 0.9375"). So it's 5.09" (I think). So if you want 'nice' (2x24) + (2x5) 6, 7 8 etc. you need to work out the exact hole centers.

@robbiebooth2980 3 years ago (edited)

Did you really just use a drill press to sand with but not to drill the holes.... 😂 sorry, couldn't resist...
Anyways, thanks for the really useful info.... with the jig, not so much shop 101😂😂😂😂 have a good one!
