Guys asked for me to do a build along but there are a bunch of them out there already. So I wanted to show how I finish a string after twisting it up. I made it off my iphone so not the best but should give a pretty good ideal

This string was a 14 strand bcy-x. Padded to 22 with same material.

Very helpful video. How much weight do you set the scale to? I use a similar ratchet system, but never have used a scale. Instead of wall studs I use the corner posts of a heavy steel shelving unit. It gives me enough open space at the center to serve the string if need be.

I set weight to 200# plus or minus. I've gone to 300# leaving strings for hours this way and don't see any benefit. 200# at 15 minutes is plenty

Glenn,

Thanks, great tip on how to finish and round the string.

Thanks for that. I wondered how much weight you used to set the string.

I was doing it in small increments and rounding it with my fingers.

Thanks for the scale idea, I picked one up at a garage sale a few years ago for $2.00.

I switched to making 3 bundle strings in order to make a rounder string..I'm going to give your rounding method a try as well...good info thanks for sharing.
