Presentation of a pouch to bands attachment jig that uses the vice (USA = vise) mechanism to generate tension on the band ends.

The system is extremely practical and greatly facilitates the task of attaching slingshot pouches to flat bands or tubes with the help of two spring-operated clamps, which are inserted in specific slots cut into wood blocks to hold the pouch one one side and the band to be attached on the other side.

A freely rotating vice screw linked to a fixed T-nut is operated via a turning wheel located at the extremity of the jig: rubber tension can be precisely adjusted. There is absolutely no danger of e.g. a lever flicking back suddenly when the device is under tension from slingshot bands or tubes.

The video includes key diagrams of the key structural aspects of the band jig for those who wish to give this design a try. A free step by step tutorial is available here (PDF file):
