gave
it
a
try.
I
just
used
a
spool
of
some
nylon
kite
string
that
was
lying
around.
The
photos
and
captions
tell
the
story.
It
ʹ
s
a
great
method.
The
end
results
are
quite
good
I
think.
When
painted,
the
cylinders
should
look
very
convincing.
And
the
process
goes
quite
quickly,
too.
In
case
you
ʹ
re
curious,
each
cylinder
took
about
42
ʺ
of
thread,
so
that
ʹ
s
9X42
ʺ
=31.5
feet
total.
Luckily,
you
can
reuse
the
ʺ
spacer
ʺ
thread,
if
you
ʹ
re
careful.
Put
a
small
drop
of
thick
CA
on
the
cylinder.
Lay
both
threads
in
the
glue
and
let
harden.
Trim
both
ends
of
the
threads.
Start
wrapping
the
threads
around
the
cylinder.
Make
sure
the
threads
stay
parallel
and
do
not
cross
each
other.
Keep
the
wrappings
snug
against
each
other.
When
you
reach
the
bottom,
put
another
small
drop
of
thick
CA
on
the
cylinder
and
secure
the
threads.
