Has anyone tried to make this contraption yet? If so what do think?
One thing I forgot to mention is to lubricate the threads with something. Anything will do. I use neversieze or coppaslip, both are antiseize or anti-galling agents. The purpose is to not wear out the thread too fast. Just a tiny bit is needed.
For anyone making strings too lubricant will cause other problems. Too much will allow the string to unwind. If it does just attach a large pair of vice-grips on the unthreaded part of the hook shaft and angle it so it catches the frame.
