Thanks so much. This saved me a few hundred dollars for the cost for a new blind. Great video.

Excellent video on how to replace the blinds. Very clear and easy to understand. Did the job myself. The last time I had it done i paid $100. Thanks for the video. Saved $100 or more since prices have gone up. Cheers

Perfect instruction! I was able to replace the chords for $12, took about 20 minutes. Thanks!

my name is Leony, it was looking for this type of video to perfect my work, here in Brazil I was not detailed in your way of this video, I thank very much I loved the channel, I am learning very much

Thank you! I was able to repair a mini-blind without too much hassle. Very clear directions. Saved me having to replace it and the two matching blinds.

Amazing. I have never been happier to watch a video about DIY

[mathewdivjak]

The "wire re-string tool" was a priceless piece of advice! I made one out of strained wire, and it worked like a charm! If you are restringing one side, make sure it is the same thickness of the string on the other side. If not, make sure you to restring both!

Really helpful. Reduced what looked like an 8 hour job to 40 minutes (including the time watching the video)!

[ostapbender]

Perfect instruction. I fixed mine wood blind for a 5 minutes and restring both sides

[anitagirelli]

It worked! You're a genius. A word of caution. The part where you are melting the two string together. That goo is like molten lava - burned my fingers almost to blisters, Taker 'er slow.

Excellent how-to video. You made it look very easy to restring the blinds. I appreciate your going step-by-step very slowly. Using a dark colored cord is a great idea. It made it very easy to see the operation of the blind. I can't wait to get the cord.

VERY good video. Great camera work and narration. Very easy to follow. Thank you!

[Jimmyjimjim]

Excellent video, thank you very much; used it to restring a blind with fraying cords, much easier than I thought it would be - and cheaper, just a roll of cord.

[rjabja]

easy instructions plus pleasant voice and excellent quality video. Thank you for making it understandable enough to complete the task.

Used this video to teach me how to restring our blind for the airstream. It took a bit of work.. but all came out well! Thanks for sharing this.

[joshuapickett]

Thank you so much for making this video. Saved me having to order new blinds for $20.

Thanks, great video! I did notice one thing that looked like a minor mistake. At ~ 5:23 when threading the cord into the cord lock, I believe the cord should go through the incoming channel (opening in the plastic) like the other cord does, not over the top of it. I checked another existing blind in my house and confirmed that it was that way in that non-DIY'd blind.
