BNC - Thick and Bouncy
TH - Thin for old school throws, narrow gaps. Also for learning tricks with MANY layers.
NOLY - Nylon and 3 different poly thread weights. Suicide/Slack loops you can climb through.
CORE - Cotton/Poly mixture that is long-lasting while still soft on fingers.
UNNNAMED - 5 different poly thread weights. It’s just plain fun!

Definitely still in.
Yeah, there’s still time. No rush. I’m trying to send out around March 1. So as long as I get y’all’s strings by around Feb 20, I’ll be hunky dory.
here’s the rig. 12’ 2x4 cut in half. 8’ 2x4 cut in half. 4 3in zinc screws. 8 7/8ths cup hooks. 1 3in door hinge. 30 minutes work, under 20 bucks. Boom. Now I can get (for now) 4 strings at once. Soon, I’ll expand to 6.
Still have to make measurements and figure out my “fold string in half” situation.

you can fold the strings by putting an extra hook near, or in the middle, of your rig, and use that.

That’s what I was thinking. I might put another board in the middle. That sag bugs me. Also, I gotta find my kite swivels. Fishing swivels, but because I use them on kites they’re superior…

The strings don’t need to be nearly that far apart. Mine are about 1" apart, so I can fit 5 strings across a 1/2 foot long chunk of wood. And you can have them share hooks when folding them in half.

Oh, yeah. But the hooks were in an 8 pack and I’m just doing proof of concept. “Eventually” (read: soon) I’ll be updating. First learn this, then increase efficiency.
