My new DIY string jig - Thanks!
« on: June 04, 2013, 11:01:00 AM »
 

I've been wanting to make another one of these for awhile and do it a whole lot cleaner than my first attempt. I found a nice piece of cherry. The cutting board part on the frets is IPE. I used the plans I found here on TG that Terry posted awhile back. Disclaimer: I only added 7 "frets" because all of my bows are the same poundage. I only built for what I needed.

Yep, I've made a couple with it! It works a lot better than my first attempt. Now I just need to try some FF materials. Done working with B50 for awhile. I'm making strings and not shooting them. lol

What type of FF are you wanting to work with?  I might be able to help.

Nice looking board.  Is it marked for bow length or string length?
