2020 String Fling!

The sun was out today. Yes!!!

Took a day of experimenting with adjustments to my rig. I’ve got a more dramatic fade now😎


So far I plan on producing this color combo. I really dig the blue.

This was a thought I couldn’t get out of my head. Twist with solid color and fade.

I feel like I read something @MarkD wrote up too, but I’m having trouble finding it now.

Thanks for the links gonna mess around with the jig today

Awesome.

Be careful. This is a gateway to obsession.

That “Oh!” moment you had the first time you spun a string and saw the magic of mathematics will pale in comparison after this.

So I was thinking about how I hate having to wrap thread around things to make strings. Oh, how I wish I could automate the silliness! Lord, save me from the tedious repetition!

WHAT COULD I DO TO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS?!?!?!

that is when it hit me. Toy trains. I repeat. TOY. TRAINS.

a few switches and about 50 feet of track. A flatbed railcar or two with a post set up to hold a spool. This is all preliminary, but this could turn a yoyo string rig into a model train setup! I don’t even mess around with them,but it COULD be awesome!

Now if I could think of a way to spin them more easily…

I would walk all 5 or 6 strings at once. On a 3 string setup it went okay. Also showed me that the layout of your threads could alter feel/performance too if using different ones. Which I didn’t think would matter with all the twisting, but it did.
