After you get done, what do you do about the strings? I just wind mine up tighter.

The weekend must be here. there is a kit of pucks to line everything up in line (I have it) & you need a 3/4" straight bar. A chop saw will work to shorten the tubes & a guy who has done this made mention that you need to clamp it all inward tightly (I gotta pick his brain some more). For you info I would go on youtube as there are some vids there on doing this. I think keeping everything inline/proper welding/perch angle correct are the critical areas. I ain't attempted it yet so this is all I can offer.

Regardless of all else, you need a jig to keep the ends in alignment. If the shop that's gonna do the welding doesn't have one, look further.
Many (most) of the jigs available now only allow doing one side at a time; I don't care for that, I believe the jig bar should extend through both sides at once.
