Hi there,

Nice top, but a question, where do you wind the string around? The main body then you hold it in place with the stick and pull it?

Thanks,
David.

Thank You kenn.

Thank you, Pinkfish, I just typed an explanation on the lower image.

I hope I explained it alright, if not give me a holler.
