Thank you for stepping up in Mike's absence, and condolences; Mike seemed to be a great guy.
After watching the video for the third time over a period of days I understand the concept, just that for me the difference between "no slack" and 100g is 330 BESS vs 280 BESS. It could be my fat mitts (they're sizely), and I'm guessing at the tension, and I'm new at this, but there "seems to be" a need for something more consistent in my case. It doesn't seem to be the knife either, though maybe I should get some calibrated weights and test with a razor blade to cut down on potential sources of error before I run out of "test twine."
