Thanks for the good word on "Doin' the Twist". We made it after a lot of folks requested a video that went into detail.
It's almost 2 hours long, with no advertising. There's 11 different segments covering 2 bundle flemish, 3 bundle flemish, padded loops, endless strings, center serving, tying in silencers, tying a bowyer's knot (timber hitch), making an endless string jig, plans for making a flemish string board, plans for making a jig to pre-stretch the string, etc.
We show the strings being built start to finish. We don't take any shortcuts, or leave out any "secrets". What you see on the video is what you would see if you sat at my shop and watched, or if you watched Joe (rare now that he's retired).
Making strings isn't hard, but explaining it with words is--like trying to explain how to tie your shoes. Good instruction and a little practice goes a long way. Once your friends find out you are making strings, you'll get plenty of practice.
