A union Plumber (Local 1) wanted a rod built with a "Wrench" theme


All that was left was to wrap the guides. I could have taken teh easy wa out, done red underwraps with black over and called it a rod.


Instead I added White-Red-White trim, a couple of trim bands under teh guide ring to match teh butt grip, and a neat little trick to make it look like the red is wrapped over the black. All thread used was Nylon, adn no CP was used.


8 TNSG guides total and a matching TMNST tip top = another 4 hours to complete the guide wraps.
