I highly recommend you stay away from trying to serve the way he did. It will not serve tight enough. I like my serving to be tight and never slide. To serve as fast as he did, you have to set the tension way too loose for my taste.

That video just illustrates the process and the back serve really well. I also set my jig really tight so that the serving is not sloppy. I just figured that was a good video to show the process.

Rory the bohning kit as mentioned has a great instructional DVD. It comes with a cable spreader, serving tool, string, and string splitter and the DVD. It is a good starter kit but im not real impressed with the serving tool. Its either to tight or to loose on the tension no happy medium. serving is easy after you do a couple.

If you check out Greg/MOs post on tying in nock sets and D-Loops, he used the "pull through" method with dental floss to tie his nock sets. I do the same thing, only with backserving because I'm not nimble enough to use pull through on a vertically set string (I need to have it in a press just to hold it horizontal... not pressed fully, just as an extra set of hands).
