String Making

Hi Everybody!

*Hi Dr Nick!*

I mademy first attempt last night at making my own string using a homemade jig, i was impressed with how it came out but it was alittle short ( about half an inch ) so im going to have another go tonight.

one thing i was concerned about tho is......

When you tie off the endless loop obviously you are left with a small knot... where do you place this in the string?

i imagine you serve over it in the end loops? I had it at the end of a served 5" section that became a loop, so it was covered by the serving that forms the loop and binds the strands into one string. Was this correct?
