Vertical feed is by far superior to every other format of thread feeder i’ve tried. Well designed! ---

That’s high praise indeed from @gsimian. He’s the OG boutique string maker for those that may not know. 🙂 ---

Wow, I considered making my own strings, but I don’t think I’d be happy without going all out like this! Thanks for sharing pics and everything - in glad that some people don’t just hide their secrets. I’m happy enough with the boutique market not to make my own, but a part of myself feels like I might need to try someday. This will be an excellent reference. ---

They’re only about 6 inches long, but they serve their intended purpose 😊 > [@eternalmetal](#): > > Thanks for sharing pics and everything - in glad that some people don’t just hide their secrets. That’s what this is for, it’s meant to be a resource for people who are interested in the craft. That, and it’s a sort of journal blog thingy for me to keep track of the progression of my string making adventure. I don’t have the time, nor do I foresee this being something that I could capitalize on; so might as well lay it all out there for others to glean from 😁 [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/smileypants707s-string-rig-making-adventure/311888.md?page=1)
