I grew up with great German hand-cut noodles.
It really isn't hard, just do it. It's like stretching the strudel dough. You do it until it's right.
I've come in from work and whipped up some noodles to throw into a simmering pot of beef or chicken. I just do it. People have watched and are amazed. No great secrets. Just get your hands in the dough and do it.

Same with my German Mom. She rolled out sheets of egg dough until thin, then...
...she would lightly dust with flour and roll them up like a scroll. She used a sharp knife to cut across the short end, adjusting the amount she cut off to get the width noodle she wanted.
Oh, and she just put a few cups of flour on the board, made a well in the center and cracked a few eggs (and maybe a couple of egg yolks extra). Eggs go in the well and you stirred them up with spread fingers while incorporating flour from the edges of the well. When the dough came together, she would knead it until smooth, then let it rest under a towel for a few minutes before rolling out.
Good stuff.
