Well, it's started and I feel like a little kid at Christmas!

Today I received the last of the major components necessary to start building my first rod. Obviously at almost ten o'clock at night I had to DO something so I started by finding the spine to at least feel like I had started the process. I mean come on I had all those beautiful parts and I have to go to work tomorrow!

With that said, I know it's been said before and I'm sure it will be said again, but I would like to extend my thanks to everyone here who has helped me start down this road. For better or worse, I know I'm hooked (no pun intended) because I've already started thinking about the next rod...or two....or three.......

Thank you all again.
Chris Allen
