- HOW TO MAKE A FLEMISH BOWSTRING!
The Flemish twist is a style of bowstring that has a very traditional look to it, and is also extremely durable. My oldest bowstring is a Flemish twist and only needs a fresh coat of wax after almost 5 years.
You'll need:
1. Saw
2. Pen or Pencil
3. Measuring Tools
4. Nails
5. Hammer
6. Board
Sadly, the plans I used to make this jig measured the pegs to BOW LENGTH not string length, so your first string may not come out as intended. I plan on making another video after designing a jig myself.

Great video. You need to find that singing chipmunk and chase him out of the shop.
Good stuff 👍
Lets see you make a string!!!! And how you measure everything out!!!
Very nice vid... easy to understand and layout very clear...!! Good work..!
Outstanding how to vid. You did an excellent job in the hands on and in your explanations. Thank you a ton
I want to see you make a bowstring!
Thanks Chad!
Nice. Couple of suggestions.
Nail heads too big. I'd suggest finish nails. Just enough of a head to help retain the string, but not so big that they get in the way. Maybe somewhere close to 10 penny finish nails. And the center nails with the length marks, I'd probably just make holes and insert a golf tee at the appropriate length.
Still, good work. Keep them coming.
Just followed and built my own. You're right. About 1/2 hr tops. Thanks so much!
Great video. Easy to understand and very clear. Thank you!
Did you do a video of how to use it? I couldn't fine one.
Can you show us how to use it. An example of how to make one. Also maybe a link on what kind of string to use?
The cord is made from B50 Dacron. You can get it on Amazon for $10
Thanks so much!
Very useful video thanks
very helpful
Thanks for sharing. Full View and Like 👍
Thank you for the video
How to made the string with that jig ?
note that these measurements are for the AMO not the string length, I already wasted some D97 material already. My fault for not reading all of the description before watching the video.
Nice work, easy to understand
How wide is your board? I heard you say inch n a half but it looks like it's at least 6 inches
Nice. Easy to do and really fast. Maybe, and I say maybe, the head of the nails could be smaller, especially in the part where they are so close to each other.
Good video shame about the music.
The sizes 48 to 78, are these the bow length or the string required length.
String length. Every bow will have a different brace height, so I find it strange when jigs have the bow length instead of the intended string length
What length to start the twist please.
Check out Clay Hayes make a flemish twist string with no jig.
Thanks for the tutorial help me a lot
Pretty good vid but would better without the chipmunk music.
i think there is a mistake in the measurements. i built this string jig step by step and measured twice. Strings come out really short. i built another from a archery store think 3rivers which gives wider dimensions. That 1 while not perfect was a little bigger. in the end i have to add like 21 inches to amo string length to get a string near what i want. every 1 twist a little different so a few trial and error runs with cheap dacron till you get it right the way u like ur string. thanks.for sharing tho
Eagle Passs same here....!!!
same here
Anime fan and archer? 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I see that MHA poster boi
Splendidly to see Woodprix have new plans which helped me save some money and energy for this construction.
Great video,lose the annoying music!
Why are you yelling at me?
Little to metro for me, had to stop watching 20 seconds in.
A big let down , a pet hate is people doing tutorials with rubbish music playing while explaining their video , 👎
DONT BUILD!!! THIS IS A BAD JIG he should've taken down the video than give false information .your strings will not come out right!!
I couldn't get passed that annoying repetitious background music.
Do you mean to tell me I endured that goofy music for 12 minutes and did not get to see a bow string made? What a waste of time.
