The real deal of bead stringing is not just getting thread in them...it's the unseen knotting to retain them when necklace breaks. Eons back did a pair of bead troughs for dear Mom. From a good oak stringer, I milled a broad shallow Vee and two connected footpads. It was 48" long, with feet about 3" from the ends. One had rubbed Danish oil, other lined in very short napped black velvet. Plain one did geometric beads, velvet helped keep round types from rolling. I have no idea where they are now.
And whatever reason I'm not getting any video? I have to get my imagination from storage?
