>I always make sure they don't mention my company name
It's the same brand name, Hagoromo. So they only mentioned it a few dozen times.
Great Big is an advertising firm by nature.

No, a Korean company has bought the formula and is now marketing the chalk. Possibly virally.
edit: meant to comment on the post, not reply but that’s alright
The recipe and machines were sold to a Korean company called Sejongmall. You can buy a 72 piece box of Fulltouch chalk directly from their site for $11 plus shipping. It's also in stock right now on Amazon for $20 a box. I don't know if maybe people still consider the original chalk better, or they don't make a whole lot at once, or if people are still in hoard mode even though they don't have to be, but it looks like it's still being produced.
Secure the pipe down on a flat surface (so it's not sagging or bending). Having only one side secured is fine because you can hold the other end.
Drill a small hole on one end of the pipe (you will probably want to cut this bit off, so make sure you cut your pipe longer than it needs to be).
Slip a nail in the hole.
Get a snap line of some variety. Hook one end to the nail.
Pull the snap line, eyeball it as best you can. SNAP.
Unless you need precision, anyway. But if "basically straight and parallel on the pipe" is good enough, then this would probably be the easiest way to do it.

found that interesting
They make big chalk boxes if you found the little handheld ones to be too short. Here’s the first one that popped up on amazon (110’) but there’s a bunch out there.

I know something I forgot! Get a bucket of pull rope and leave a length alongside every drop! You likely won't ever need it, but it's cheap insurance in case you ever need to replace a cable!
Someone must have acquired the HAGOROMO brand because their "Fulltouch" chalk, same as in the video, is available on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/HAGOROMO-Fulltouch-Color-Chalk-White/dp/B01HDNUXBW?th=1 Pity that I don't own a chalkboard because I'm a stationary buff myself. Recently, I bought some pilot Neox 4B 0.5 mm lead for my mechanical pencil. It's like nothing I've ever tried — dark as ink and creamy as butter. It can smudge if you're not careful and wears down really fast, but it's a small price to pay for it's beautiful dark color and buttery feel.
Something like this if you can use the guide well enough should be more than enough. But props for creativity.
