Well, I just finished reading Tom Kirkmans book, and my black just arrived today (thank you Fred Yarmolowicz). And I have a question, when I buy a cork blank, so I have to put a hole in it my self? If I do, should I try to make a tapered reamer? Or just use a file? Second, should I get new ones, or could I gut one of my old rods and use those? Second, how do I make it look pretty, what I mean is how do I put decals in, what tom said was to do is to just use the nylon thread, but I was wondering if I could make like a decal, and put it over my thread, and then put a adhesive on it, Then put the epoxy on it? thanks for the help, and if any one knows where I can get a rod seat, guides, and cork grip,
Thanks again, -Nicholas Christie Re: Need just a little more advise please...

Nicholas,
Look to the left side of this website. These companies are sponsors that keep this site going here for you ! and eveyone else building rods, and use the site for Q & A. Most all of them will have every part you will need. Also go up and click on PHOTOS you will see lots of "pretty" rods, to help give you ideas , for your project. You will see decals, inlays, wraps, wood work, cork work,etc. Dave von Doehren PRRODS......If man built it , man can fix it.and if man built it man can break it !

Nicholas,
Why not just call & talk to sponsors to the left that are in your area. Tell them you're getting started and need a little assistance getting of the ground. The sponsors are great resources of helpful info. Stan Re: Need just a little more advise please...

Preformed grips already have been bored. You will have to ream it to fit your blank. You can use a reamer or a bastard file. Cork rings are also bored. I think Tom's book shows how to do both of these. Re: Need just a little more advise please...

Make your own reamers out of old or broke blanks. I was fortunate enough to have old rods including surf rods, so I have just about every size reamer imaginable. Re: Need just a little more advise please...
