A get together of custom rod builders is being planned for the week-end of April 9th and 10th. The event will be unsponsored and there will be no charge. Everyone is welcome regardless of experience level, location or affiliation.
Lamiglas is graciously making their brand new facilities in Woodland Washington available for the event. There is a big new conference room in their facility where presentations on rod building techniques and presentations on topics of interest to custom rod builders will be held. There will also be tours available of the new blank and rod building facilities so that we can all see how one of the biggest manufacturers builds blanks and rods and see what techniques and materials they use. For the first dozen or so that are fortunate enough to be able to come early on Thur. April 7th. there will be an opportunity to BYOB (Build Your Own Blank) using the Lamiglas machinery, tooling and materials and with the expert assistance of Lamiglas personnel. There will also not be a charge for this. We are also tenatively planning to get together on Fri. evening April 8th for presentations and general discussions on topics of interest to custom rod builders. All of the details are not finalized yet but it should be a lot of fun and very informative. There will be more details posted as they firm up particularly on the presentations and discussion topics. If you are interested in attending either contact me at eharry3@comcast.net or contact Todd Vivien directly at Todd@Lamiglas.com. By the way, if you have a technique or topic that you think that you would like to present that would be of interest to your fellow rod builders please let us know. There is still room for more.

Bob,
Glad you are coming. I look forward to meeting you. I know you will have a good time. If you need any help with motels or anything let me know. By the way, you should really thank Lamiglas and Todd Vivien. They are the ones that are making all of the facilities available and doing most of the work. Joe, Glad you are coming to and look forward to meeting you as well. Thank you very much for the offer of help. That is really nice of you but I can not think of anything at the moment. If something comes up I will give you a holler. Re: Announcement, Rod Builders Get Together

Merrick Tackle hosts a general manufacturer's "open house" in the spring - I just haven't seen an announcement yet. Not really
a "rod building / show case" affair ... Re: Announcement, Rod Builders Get Together

I'm glad to see it but in fairness I would think that if Lamiglass is going to use this board to publicize their events then the least they could do is buy a sponsorship here. This is not intended to bash anyone or stir up trouble, but why do so many who won't lift a finger to help here want to then use this site to publicize their own events?

When Todd first contacted me about this event, I did not realize that it was going to be held at the Lamiglas facility and hosted by Lamiglas. Since then, those who are preparing the event have been in touch and we've worked out an arrangement for them to be able to promote it here.
Thanks for your concern, you do have a point, but it's been taken care of. ....................... Re: Announcement, Rod Builders Get Together

Okay. Glad to hear it. Just didn't want to see the board taken advantage of. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
