You can't go wrong watching Joe Stark make a string on the Doin' the Twist DVD.

The only thing wrong with the utube video is the way he finishes up the serving. No need to cut the server loose, just make a bigger loop and do your reverse wraps with the server inside the loop, much easier than reverse wrapping by hand.

Good point Eric.  Once you cut the server loose the string is much harder to control and the wraps around the string aren't as tight.  I'll have to try that the next time.
