I saw that 5-in-one-pass rig. But I cant help but think that quality is being sacrificed. I like having every inch of thread pass between my fingers. I know there are no tangles, bunches or knots. I also know that different threads (even colors of the same threads) stretch differently. Having the string pre-stretched properly is a key part of my process, and the biggest problem in making a static rig. Where it folds is a different spot for each type of string. Maybe if i was smashing out hundreds of exactly the same kind, but I dunno.

I did like his concept of having multiple spools and minimal passes. but the way he spun them up, and the relaxed them, im not so sure about. Id like to compare one of his to one of mine. Just to see.

I saw that rig too. Looks like a good way to crank out quantity of just single colored or multicolored strings, but there’s really no way to do any interesting patterns. If I were to get into the biz, I’d come up with a rig that could at least semi-automate fades, twists, and hard transition patterns. I even have a pattern that looks like a US flag. That would make my strings more distinctive in the market. But, I’m not getting into the biz. I turned a hobby into a business before and it killed the joy for me.

I want to focus on 2 things with this project.

High visibility, and high performance.

Ill leave the super duper awesome artsy stuff to the others killing it already. I dont know how well they will be received, but ive sent out a couple string packs this morning. Well see if they stand out to others like they do for me. I may just be biased and they are crap. Well see! haha

If the strings you sent me with my Tundra were made by you, than they definitely stand out to me. I love them!
