@MAX PLY, what is a starting block?
And how is a setting off awl used? I’ve seen the Wimbledon stringers video where one of the guys is stabbing the strings, bit I haven’t found a video that demonstrates how its used. Could a stringer effectively use something like the blunt end of a steel or hard plastic chopstick?

You’re right not worth the effort too flexible. You may be better off grinding down an old screwdriver.I think the back end of a metal chopstick looks the same, but yes, without a handle, probably not as easy to utilize. Guess I could create a handle out of tape or something (like a prison shank), but probably not worth the effort.
And the starting block, thanks for the explanations and image link. So it's like using a wooden clothespin or the parnell pad, right?
I often wear an LED cap so I can see the grommets better. My eyes aren't young anymore!Have good lighting. Makes it easier to insert into the grommet holes. And a flashlight can be handy when looking for the clearest path into a tie-off hole.

Get a waterproof bicycle or motorbike cover on the bay. They keep off dust, rain and snow.
I need good lighting as well. I use a floor lamp with a flexible goose neck and position it right above the string bed. Works great for me.I often wear an LED cap so I can see the grommets better. My eyes aren't young anymore!
Me too, I need good lighting. There is a light bulb in the ceiling right above my stringing machine but the lamp was a dim yellow one, so I replaced it with a bright cool white LED with 1400 lumens of brightness level. I can see everything now.I need good lighting as well. I use a floor lamp with a flexible goose neck and position it right above the string bed. Works great for me.

That is......ehhhhh....nice? I'd get one, but I don't need to weld anything on the Mighty Sensor. Weld? What am I saying? That thing could fuse parts together on its own! I think the design came out of the move War of the Worlds, the 1953 version...Would be a bit hot to wear one where I am so maybe I can wear this one:
