I wanted to post this to show all you guys I can run stringers.
But I'll always weave given the choice.
Nice work! All through the 1990's I was a confirmed stringer guy and would run stringers rather than a weave unless the WPS called for it. Now, I prefer a weave and don't like running stringers. I don't know why the change, or exactly when it happened, but there it is!
For me, there's something in the rhythm of a weave that makes for a more even bead and more consistent fill of the toes. It's also slightly hypnotic, so more relaxing than focusing on keeping stringers even in width and height.
Also, my hands shake a fair bit, so the weave is kind-of working "with" the problem, where stringers seem to work against it.

So are you saying that for you, a weave is some kind of eastern thought, meditative, Zen sort of thing? Do you become 'one' with the weld?

Transcendental amalgamation ... I just realized I am sitting at the feet of the master ...
I like running stringer beads you did a great job they are not as easy as people think I will try to post pictures of a 3g but I only have 3/8 steel lying around. I like those rods too I buy them at Colorado compressed gas. And that root pass looked better than mine that's for sure.
