Thanks LBR, I cant see how to adjust a Flemish jig enough for 26" strings, there's not enough space on the board, if I lengthen the board I lengthen the string and so it goes, I've been in touch with Don Katsumi and he didn't adapt the Flemish twist jig, he made his own jig, (and considering the quality of his crossbow strings), who can fault it. So my problem is solved, thanks for your guidance LBR. Appreciated The ox is slow but the earth is patient
