A tale of two string jigs

<< < (2/2)

HatchA:
I use a 6' length of Ash and hammer nails in at whatever distances I need to, depending on string length required.  Nock to nock plus 20", divided by 2 and hammer a nail ;D

Pat B:
After I make a string I'll hook the loop over a nail, pull the string tight and vigerously rub it with wax then with a small piece of leather. This will heat up the string(and wax), help the wax to penetrate and will pre-stretch the string.
