GregB:

When I use a stringer, this is the type I use. I use the templates to mark the leather, for cutting out the stringer and punching holes so I can make my own. T

he longer pocket goes on the lower limb, with the shorter pocket leaving the top limb string grooves free.

Thanks Greg, what did you use for the cord? I'm going to make one of those as soon as possible.

GregB:

It is parachute cord, but any cord with good strength will do.

cowboy:
Thanks for posting those pic's Greg! It all makes perfect sense now.

1/2primitive:
I worked it some, here it is braced afterwords. What do you think? Now I don't want, "It's fine, it'll work". Look closely. Tell me what you think. Really. Do you think I should draw it some more? This is my least favorite part in tillering. I always feel like it's going to break at this point. ::)
