- This my first attempt at filming and editing a video so be kind. It isn't intended as an instructional video as there is no audio instruction but feel free to any questions. Also search for my facebook page Evans Performance Bowstrings.
Wow... Best video ever of this subject. No Ego! Just plain simple direct and exact. Thank you so very much for this beautiful example of how to...
Thanks
Like watching a artist at work on a painting. Great video
Wow now that was some talent that was so beautiful
very clear,excellent camera work,thank you.
Excellent video demonstration, thank you much.
a very simple way to making a recurve string , just what Ive been looking for
thank you chrisevansgarden
Good to hear Dingo Dave thanks.
@@chrisevansgarden hi, are the blue and white strings made from different materials? what are they called?
Semplicemente fantastico, il video è veramente bello e la tua tecnica di fare i loops è meravigliosa. *
Simply fantastic, the video is really nice and your technique to make the loops is wonderful.
Amazing video. I am also going to make a string jig similar to the one you have.
Super clear. Well done. I just listen to your audio while I'm making xbow strings... "Vintage Frames" by Kai Engel I believe. Thanks, J-

thanks
Very artistic, with the piano accompanimemt was peaceful to watch
Thanks.
This is excellent. The method how you joining end loop sides is what i was missing till now :)
Now my strings would be even better than before. Thanx mate for that.
Do you advice to prewax thread while go arround jig posts? Burnishing would be better with waxed threads, right? Please shed some light here :)
Cheers mate
Мастер своего дела, супер. 👍👍👍
wow! masterclass.
Thanks for that vídeo. Help me a Lot.
are the blue and white strings made from different materials?
They are different the white sting material here might have been fast flight and blue serving is soft twist 4
which server jig are you using? also did you make your own string jig? It looks beautiful.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Woww.. sooooo detailll
There's something quite therapeutic about watching that serving tool go round and round...

And the music is mesmerizing!!!
Hey Evan thanks for posting the video. This is my favourite way of making the transition as there’s no double serving under the limbs and it looks really good.
Only problem that I tend to have is after longer use on transition and main loop serving tend to slide down and expose a bit of main material. Would you happen to know why is that happening? Maybe I’m serving it to tightly or not tightly enough?
I had the same trouble to start with. I think it's as the loops expand they just prise the serving open doesn't seem to matter how tight you serve it still happens. I have found a way to combat this but I'm afraid it's a trade secret!!
@@chrisevansgarden uuu shame well i'll keep on trying then. Any direction you could point me to :D?
Thank you
Massive loops and low jig tension? Are you still making them like this?
Show ! very good
Any reason you served second loop other way around and switched direction for just string part of serving? First loop right to left, second left to right.
Awesome
i am new to the subject and have been watching multiple videos, i had the same thought that you used. why not mark your end loops with a pen or marker, but i was sitting there, would that have any side effect or lead to any altercations with the string?
Hi, great video, very instructional. Relaxing too :) I'm sure I'll be referring to it when I start making my own strings. When you add twists to the string as you close the loops up @3:35 you seem to be turning something off camera. Do you have some kind of tool for adding the twists and holding them in place? Thanks.
Thank you!!
Your welcome.
Hi Naomi, I can't remember the exact material the string was made with now but most likely Fast flight Plus or BCY 8123G. The serving is Soft Twist No. 4. I use a Beiter serving toll which I have installed the metal professional rollers into and the jig I was using was made by a neighbour. I now use a jig made by KG Archery.
Fantástico
Very nice video, good camera, oleasant to watch and was very helpfull!
Can you please name the music?
Inecendium the music is just something that came free on my editing software.

What is the measurement you are veryfing at 1:24? and 5:10? thanks!
Can you share the design? i don't know its exact size thanks a lot.
Hi Chris, why and in which direction do you twist the strings before serving?
Hi Christian
I find the serving hold better on a twisted string as when you twist the string to achieve your bracing it can loosen the servings.
I put the twists in the direction that winds the arcing on to the string.
Hope that helped.
Chris.

Hi Chris, thanks for the quick response! Yes, that helps and I'll try it today. By the way: beautiful piano! Yourself?
Always happy to help. Thanks for the complement on the music. Unfortunately my piano playing is none existent it was some free music that came with my editing software.
supper nice
Thanks you.
nice job but that's the problem with all continous loop bowstrings. they are the weakest at the loop where it counts. they use half the strands unlike Flemish twist that uses full strands at loops.
Yes, I guess that's why all the world's top target archers and all the world records are shot using Flemish twist strings....
I'd like to see how you made the jig.
Nice music.
Sorry Shuu I cheated on the and got a neighbour to make it for me. My wood working skill aren't that good.
chrisevansgarden
Could you maybe make a video showing the details of the jig? I can see that a router was used on it.
Basically one long piece of wood. Long enough u make your longest string on. Slot cut in one end down to half way and holes on the other end about 1" apart. Then two smaller bits to hold the posts mine are about 11 or 12" I think glue the metal rods in at the ends and
Then hole in the middle for a bolt washer and wing nut on the top. Hope this helped.
No they move at both ends of mine.
Why is your jig shaking.
It’s a very basic homemade jig that wasn’t secured
I just finished my Pistol Crossbow string. What took me 30+ mins per serving by hand............ took you 2 mins.
Wish i had seen this first. Popped up in my recommendations after the fact. 🙄🙄🙄
