Nice shop and a very nice jig,

I once read that it is better to alternate the clamps,  one on right side, one on left side, and so on..

The presure on the bow would be better divided, your recurve looks really good, so it aint really neccesarry?

greetings

Nice jig, I made a tip flipper in shop but I realized that it was pressure treated wood when I got home(after lugging it home on the bus) and so I can't use it :facepalm: :embarassed: need to make
Another that I can use indoors

Nice jig, Adam. That image will come in handy for when I'm ready to flip the tips!! 8)

When I had trouble with the back scorching I redone my jig so that it wasn't as wide as the bow limb.  That way no heat gets swept up under the bow.
