Just saw on another board that Amazon is taking pre-orders for a reprint of Dale P. Clemens book. That figures since I paid about three times the price for mine.lol.

Yes, we announced this some time ago. An offshoot of Nick Lyons Publishing has reprinted it.

with the exception of a few pamphlets and many articles for the old club i think thats it too. Its my opinion that Dale Clemons is the father of modern rod building.

Hi,

Getting older and older every day I have been having trouble pushing synthetic grips into place. I asked my friend for his plans on a tool to install grips using air pressure. Well, it turns out the plans are in Advanced Custom Rod Building. OOOPS!!! I have had that book for over 15 years and forgot all about that tool.

So now I have a tool to make the chore much easier for me using a pancake compressor and 50# of air pressure.

Maybe I should revist that book especially the tools section.

I am glad to hear that it has been published again.
