Hey guys I’ve been making my own string for a couple weeks… I like everything about them except the loops that goes around the bearings arent tight against the bearing. Any tips on how to correct this?!

Wind a little tighter on the initial spin, unless of course that ruins the string qualities you like as it is now.

Using a dremel for the first wind and a drill for the next. Using small hooks. Gonna keep experimenting!

True. Just having a hard time deciding how long or far to spin the string on the first and second winds…

Just worry about the first. You can mess with the second, but one way or another, the second will mostly just end up neutralizing the first.
