There's any number of these jigs online. This one is based on the one published by the Daohead Collective. I've recreated the jig in Sketchup for laser engraving and cutting.
Important note: On making my first string, I discovered that the measurement markings seem to refer to the length of the bow, not the length of the string. Using the 68'' marker and starting the loops at 10 inches from the tips of the bundles (as per the instructions found for the jig I copied), for instance, will most likely yield a 64'' string, fit for a 68'' bow. At least it does for me, but everyone twist their strings a little differently. Starting your loops at 8'' yields longer strings, starting at 12'' from the tips of the bundles yields shorter strings. For my 56'' hunting bow, it's the 58'' marker that gives me the correct brace height, so please take the measurements on the jig with a pinch of salt. It all depends on how you twist your strings, so be prepared for some trial and error.
