What happens here

To secure the initial end of the string line to a fixed point, first, pull the string tight. Then, create a loop by wrapping the string around your index finger approximately six times.

Tools and materials

  • Nail — Serving as an anchor point for the string line
  • String Line — The primary element being tensioned
