Thanks
He uses 28 strands there for the center of the string... and 24 for the loops, I assume so that they can be more twisted than the string. I find it difficult to keep the strands at the same tension/length. Hmm. Maybe I shouldn't try too hard for that
I'm not sure if the strands should be overlapping while being wrapped in the part before 5:40 or wrapped, or the strands neatly next to each other, maybe something in between is best
I think what he does with the square knot may be the best way to go on about it, for the loose ends of the center string
edit: with a rather thin string (that's still too thick for those easton nocks ... ...) twisting moderately doesn't shorten it that much. I should've gone with 95cm for the center section rather than 96cm, I guess 1cm can make a 1/4" or even 1/2" difference in brace height? :\
It's really a headache to do this... easy to mess something up when tightening the loops and such. I pulled on the tag ends (trying to tighten the square knot after tying the loop over it) on my 2nd attempt today, and it screwed up the strands on the center string, I guess it loosened somehow.
I guess my loops should've been more twisted too... on my third attempt, which should be a functioning string.
