If I'm understanding your description correctly, then Yes, you are correct.
I never thought this would make a difference but it does show a different reading on the ERT. Will have to test it soon to see if I feel a difference.

String on, homie!! |
I'm making OK money, but more importantly, I'm happier than I was at my previous job. I am thinking to give it a year, and see how it goes, and then make a decision from there.

Congrats.
I am sorry you and the others have to go through all of that to string Isner, Harrison and some others' frames.
Do you guys extra charge for the extra job??
How long does it take to string Isner and Harrison's frame?
thanks.
|
Bucket, the fee is the same to string all the frames. Took about 15 minutes to complete those frames.

Again, very nice pics. Did you ever get any sleep?

Thanks Steve. Nice to know the thread is being appreciated.
As for Isner's frames, it seems many stringers (such as yourself) have figured out that tubing has to be done on these type of frames because of early breakage. Especially as you put it, with natural gut.
As for sleep, I was getting it after the Delray, which is why it took me so long to start the thread.

Max, the fingers were really not an issue. My feet were another issue. The shoes I was wearing had the cushioning pop, so they were throbbing on about the fourth or fifth day.
