That's a great post.

Just one question, how do you finish off the knot holding the timing cord in place?


There are several ways to do this. Personally... I tie a double overhand (run the tag end through the loop twice) and I do this twice (once on each side) and then I pull it super tight.. and melt the ends down CAREFULLY!!!! Remember that heat rises, forget that simple physics fact and I'll sell you new cable too....

You don't have to do this.. but I do it because its really just a red badge of courage. That knot ain't coming out once you melt it down and mash it flat.. but doubling it up help me sleep at night.
