- We finally get to the itty-gritty process of making a recurve string. It's not hard once you learn it, and as with most things, it takes some trial and error to get a nice-looking string.

Love the music change when you start rockin the center serving! lol
Off Topic ---->
NUSensei does a great job of mixing audio levels well. It is the right strike of balance between the background music level &
the foreground narration level. Even the 'fast paced' electric guitar music accompanying the 'fast paced' spin - to - win sequence
is to the identical level as the 'casually paced' easy listening style background music throughout the rest of the show. :-)
I LOVE YOU SENSEI!!! Im from Honduras and basically all i can purchase has to be from the exterior of the country. Thanks to you now i can make a nice string for my bow
You’re such a great teacher, truly one of the best I’ve ever seen.
Thank you for sharing this with us, we know it takes a lot of your time to post these videos.
Very well explained and demonstrated. The clearest I've seen. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing. Your video is really easy to follow and very informative making it no more myth in string making. Appreciate!
I’ve never seen that technique for spinning the serving tool before! Thanks for teaching me a useful new technique.
Thank you Nusensei, I’ve just finished my very first string. Thanks to this video it came out so well I plan to replace all my bows with my own made strings. I have odd sized bows and strings are either harder to come by or more expensive. This is a great skill to have, and this was the best tutorial I’ve found on the subject.
This guy always does very instructional videos.Simple to understand and not a know all like others. Thanks
Great video. Thanks. Nice touch with the metal while spinning the center serving
Nice DIY handwork! It's rewarding having the knowledge and the skills to do it.
Enjoyable to watch.
I have always held the belief that it is a joy to watch someone do something they are good at; from making bowstrings to carving a turkey it's a fine thing to watch someone competent work.
After watching your video, I finally was able to complete my first bow string. I follow all your steps and came fine. Thanks, and keep up the good work in benefits of the archery community.
Thank you very much for posting this. There are other videos out there but yours is the best by far.
Thank you for this informative video. Just started learning the make bow strings and this was just the ticket. Well produced and presented.
Just finished my second string! Thank you!! I made my jig, very basic, and with your easy going way mixed with great close ups I succeeded. The feeling that you get when finished is priceless. Cheers!
good vídeo
I've been making my endless strings using a homemade jig with some success, but this video is so clearly explained it shows me some new ideas that will make the process even easier. Thanks!
Big Thanks to you Nu. I've watched other videos, yours I understood start to finish. Those others did not give enough visual techniques as yours did.
This makes me want to make my own strings now. Not because I'd need to, but because it looks oddly relaxing. Cheers for the very helpful video!
Thats looks awsome. Really want to give that a go for my recurve and horsebow. Great video thanks, you make it look easy.
Great, clear tutorial, as always! Many thanks.
Thank you so much for posting this. I've been making endless loops for a couple years but I hate that little gap that always seems to eventually appear between the loop serving and the main string serving. I never thought to go out down the string and then wrap back towards the loop like you did. That's brilliant.
Thank you very much, this is the 4 video I watched and the first one I could see how to finish the end of the wrapping. I use to make bow strings but it has been a long time and need a refresher but did it a bit different, this looks very good doing the loop and bringing them together and continuing the wrapping. Again very good video Thank You.
Best video I have seen.
Thanks for your efforts.
I watch your video about 20 times, and I'm almost ready to try and make my first bow string following your video and advice. Thanks !!
What size of serving for 18 strand..?
Very well done video! Really got me wanting to start making my own strings now too. Keep up the great content :)
It's addictive, and everyone I've taught agrees. It's like knitting for bows.
I think this is the cleanest method I’ve seen can’t wait to have my string jig to practice
Great video! Thanks for making it interesting and useful.
Superb video!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
hahaha I love the change in background music when you said that there is a faster way to thread the serving in the middle
Big thank you for this great video. It really saved my day! :)
huge THUMBS UP
I really enjoyed to watch your work and your tutorial.
Now I want to do my own string. :)
Very calming and pleasant video.
Pure gold, thanks!
Really loved this video. very informative and easy to follow.
don't get this wrong sensei, i like the way you speak.. it's unique and kinda funny to listen for me. thank you for all the useful videos you made so far, really appreciate it.
Thats an outstanding walk through...
Great tutorial. Thank you NUS.
🙂🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Very nice and very useful. I will have to do that and build my own strings, soon. Thank you Sir
Thank you very much for this video. Most helpful. I need to make some custom strings for y SAS survival bow, I hate having to twist the heck outta it to get the right brace distance.
Really helpful tutorial, very well explained.
Great video dude! Very informative.
very good video..... i can learn from basic.... easy to understand!!! keep going!! good job!
Very good video! I've always used a Flemish-twist string simply because I wan't sure how to do the endless loop. I'm going to give this a try in the coming weeks.
The best how to make a bow string on UA-cam
This was awesome, and much easier than I thought. Got a 6'x1' wooden board at Home Depot, and a few screw clamps. Used an old string for measurement, and made it tight. First made a 68" 16 strand string, which came out OK, had to adjust the smaller loop to stay on during stringing the bow. 2nd 68" string I made 18 strands and it came out just as good looking as the ones I purchase. Just ordered a bunch more colored string material and serving strings, to make some custom cool ones. Next up learn how to mount fletchings and make my personalized arrows. Thanks NuSensei
Nice! You'll probably end up making strings more often than you wax them.
I don't care how old your videos are their great
Great video definitely going to help me start making my own string's
thanks so much. I still have my basic wooden jig and my homemade serving dispenser, but just forgot how! In fact it's escaping me right now why I have two jigs! I think it's because my 4-post jig doesn't pull the string tight enough when I go to serve it (it's made to straighten out, but...), so I use painter's tape to hold the string together and move it over for "part B" (serving) under adequate tension on the second jig.
The more I find out about things the more I find that the work is not hard just tedious haha how wonderful is life
Thanks for sharing this information, good to know.
good video. Great Soundtrack.
This was a great and easy to follow tutorial. I usually make flemish twist strings, but this seems a lot easier. Though, I would need to make a jig to do this.
Pretty nice shots in this video
Nice article. Very helpful. Thank you............regards Tim
Very well done video. I like the jigs you used to make the bow string (stringing jig and serving jig). I've seen and made something like both of them and they work well. A friend of mine apparently came across a "real deal" on two compound bows that had their strings broken. If I can make replacement strings for them I'll get to keep my choice of one of the bows. My only issue is that I've only ever made strings for my recurve (45 pound) and will only be guessing how many strands to use for an 80 pound maximum draw weight bow. As far as the number of strands and material for the bow string; are there any specific resources (websites) you would recommend?
Excellent tutorial,. I've been having trouble finding good strings for my Asiatic bows. No I'm just going to make them. Thank you.
Thanks for the vid, very informative.
some say take a moment to check your work. but some also says take a moment to admire your work
Excellent Job !
I was looking at videos on homemade string jigs because it gets expensive and inopportune when they wear out. I say inopportune because of my location "top of Idaho"
100 + miles from downtown anywhere.
I decided to build my own jigs simply because of the cost of a professional product. I found that the inexpensive models are still spendy.
I'm not much of a carpenter and I see that many people have chosen wood for its ease of working and cost. I've no patience with materials that split or warp over time.
I have decided to use rectangle steel tube for the rail for stability. I want something that I really can't find even if I could afford one.
I have been collecting the materials for this project for a year now at the dump here "my friend runs it" so I have access to a variety of parts and metal stock including the adjusting knobs for the sliding base on the pin brackets.
I have been retired for a few years now but I have all my tools and for me to build one shouldn't take long .
I thank you for taking the time to put this out.
I am glad I watched it, I didn't see the jigs much but I like how easy you you made the string.
Very clean instruction
cheers for sharing mate, last time i made a recurve string was about 30 years ago and i was 10, just a little while between drinks lol
Huge thumbs up !
Awesome 👌
Looks nice 👍🖖
When you make your own bowstring you can make serving net and tight. I have only wooden spokes on wood frame (caracedoor;) and then i move stringloop away to make serving.
Great video. I've always made flemish twist, but I think I might try to make an endless loop jig once my shed thaws out and I'm able to work in there again. Do you ever stretch the bow string before laying in your nock set? Do you find the position changes before / after stretch?
Well done video...
Because of this video I was inspired to make my own bowstring jig from an ikea bed frame that someone was throwing out. Came out great :-)
Darryl, Would love to see a picture of your Loop bed frame Jig.
@@dakidfrombrooklyn6203 Send me your email address and I will send you a pic....also knocked up a Flemish twist jig as well so now I'm covered :-)

@@dakidfrombrooklyn6203 I sent some pics to your business email so you should have received them a while ago.
@@darryltoombs1076 Hi Darryl, thank you for answering me, how ever i did not receive the pics, could you be so kind ad to send them again rascalman30643@gmail.com
Great video, and thanks for it. I wonder, does the length of serving affect the performance of the bow and/or arrow? Are there any other factors besides holding the string together and durability?
your music levels are perfect
The Thumb doesn't get any bigger ;) but I gave you a thumbs up. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Great video! To minimize risk of damaging your new serving.... when burning off excess serving, make sure the flame is on top of the work and not below setting fire to the rest of the material....
Thank you! 🎯
You make it look easy
Very good video, thanks a lot. May I ask what jig do you use for making strings?
XCELLENT BRO. TKZ SO MUCH
very calming
Thank you!
loved the music change when you showed your method of the center serving quick. The vid is awesome.
Question: Would you redo the endloop serving if it wears out?
i always admire your bow :D
Good video,
But i want to make you some suggestions.
First I would use the jig post grooves, they help keep the strands tighter together specially when serving.
Also it has its advantages to do the end loop serving in two steps. This way when finished the simple serving you can stretch to recover the loose strands if any. I like to start the closing of the loop from the loop side down.
Also, it helps a lot to tie the starting of each serving. It wont move so much and it will be longer alowing for a tighter pull.
Best regards
is it normal to have your first string come out bad? the end loop serving got loose and one of the strands got loose and broke. any ideas on how to fix this on my next string?
Taking a short break from my garage shop. I'm making a bow string jig. Looking forward to my first string.
Very nice video, it's pretty clear even for me (I'm not native english speaker) :)
Many thanks
thank you very much
I really do like it endless loop concept a lot better than I do. The Flemish wrapped strings. If I was to make a bow string I would rather make it this way. Not to mention it looks easier to do in the first place.
@NUSensei Where did you get your bow string jig?
Do you measure a recurve for the string along the whole bow, or just tip to tip?
Super sir
what model of victorinox is that? I have the ranger
I watched this video twice for the music.
Sensei! Your video library is invaluable to me. I can't thank you enough.
YOU > backyard bob, survival steve, apocalypse alan put together.
Thanks again. (seriously, Bro, is this a good bow?)
I don't even google anymore if I want to gain archery knowledge. Everything is here.
16:00 that drastically music change
19:55 will hair dryer work?
+Andre Nathan Yes, but you may want to put the string onto the palm of your hand. String material is sensitive to heat - so you can use your hand as a temperature sensor for not getting the string too hot.
Hi ,00:50 ! how long is that reel of 8125 string? 8200feet or more,thanks
I truly enjoyed watching this instructional bowstring making tutorial.
Question: Is it better to make a slightly shorter bowstring, where one needs but only three to maybe upto six twists in it ?
Or, is it better to make a somewhat longer bowstring where one literally needs to put in many twists, say, 35 upto 50 twists in it ?
I guess what I'm asking is, "Is heaps & heaps of twists to advantage?". Knowing correct BraceHeight must be met w/ both strings
If you're adding 50 twists to a string, you're a few inches too long. Better to have a string with fewer twists. But, if making a string and uncertain, it is better to err on the slightly longer side, as you can't make a string longer.
Thanx NUSensei
