im interested in learning how to.

Both myself and Toby build rods. I picked up the clemens lathe last year. It makes building rods so much more enjoyable. Like I said in my post yesterday, once you build your own rod you will never purchase a factory rod again. I would be interested in getting some buttwrap patterns. I don't know if there is a way that we could setup a library of buttwrap patterns. Would anyone be interested in this? On a final note, as a graphic designer, color coordination is a big thing for me. If you guys are struggling with what colors you should use try picking up a book on color process at your local book store. Just look under the graphic design section. These books show color patterns that work well together. Otherwise I could photocopy the pages out of some of my books for you guys and leave them at Weekapaug next time I'm up. You'd be amazed at how much it helps..
