String jig designs
Just because I've been asked 3 times last week, I thought I'd repost my designs. Of course feel free to copy them.
They are great for serving a string or simply getting the creep out.
This is the easiest, most simple but very strong design and can be knocked down and stored as a very small package. You can add feet for a table top or hinge it to a wall.
This one is better in that the flex in the lower horizontal bars maintain tension where as the above does not aford much.

Re: String jig designs
It's a tool for reserving or to get a new sting on to elongate the string to accelerate the settling in process. Anyone would benefit from having one.Starvin' Hillbilly wrote:Some heavy duty stuff Mr. Boo! . . . I'll jus buy them from you guys who know what youre doing!

Re: String jig designs
Easy to build as I built one from your website designs and works great. Been using it for the past 3 yrs for reserving and work on strings. Thanks for the designs.

Re: String jig designs
Don, for Matrix bows do you build it some 5 - 6 inches narrower?
Re: String jig designs
I use a threaded rod joiner and a section of threaded rod. I would make it the full length because you never know.WhoToo wrote:Don, for Matrix bows do you build it some 5 - 6 inches narrower?

Re: String jig designs
BTW, the 1" space between the 2 horizontal bars can be made with up to a 2" space, but the closer they are the more spring you get out of jig.

Re: String jig designs
Boo, or anyone else who has made one of these jigs, can you please post the size and gauge of the steel tubing that should be used in the second design?
Thanks for your help.

Re: String jig designs
It's 1" square tubing. Not a clue what gauge.

Re: String jig designs
I built one a couple weeks ago with the directions off of Boo's site. I did make mine a little shorter for the Matrix strings. Started serving my own strings with help from Boo and Danny Miller. It works great and my serving jobs our turning out real good.
Thanks to Boo and Danny Miller
