Making an endless loop string?

So I see plenty of material when it comes to making flemish strings, but nuthin on endless loop. Is there a resource for such, or is it more of a machine manufacture kinda thing?

I’ve seen several places on the net that shows exactly how to build an endless string. I wish I could point you in the right direction, but I’d have to do a search to find it myself. I make all my own strings and most of them are endless. For me they are easier to make than flemish.

Here are a few sites that will give you the idea.

The jig I have here is different from all of these, and is close to 50 years old. I probably only have it because the jig is so easy to build that I’ve not carried this one as I traveled the world; I just made new ones to use, wherever I was.

I think you can get the idea from these but if you need more help I can take photos on mine to post. The all-wood jig in the first site listed is closest to mine in construction, but not exactly the same.
