Yes please - a few pics as a progress tutorial would be nice

Can’t get to my equipment just yet but here’s a vid from coach Ashe. I don’t use the serving jig, you don’t need it. Just wrap by hand.

Steve Wijler method is the other one I like but I don’t use superglue unless it’s gel. Or very little glue. It can seep through and damage strings (overzealous application) but Steve runs his strings for a long time and his career is on the line so it IS possible to use glue safely.

If you use the brass, by all means smooth out the sharp edges. A proper pliers won't put pliers marks on it, but the sharp edge of the ends is still there. I also put a dab of gel Gorilla super glue at the joint. A simple nail knot with a star or cut of of a Bic pen, wound the same direction as your serving, can be adjusted until right, then tighten, trim and add the tiniest of dabs of the gel super glue.
