Hey there guys,
I finally finished the boat rod that I was having problems
with on the thread gapping.
I have uploaded them in the photo section.
check it out tell me what you think. Also can someone
tell me how to upload your pics at one time, I had to do them
one at a time.
Thanks
Glen

You did tremendous, man. I've built a couple dozen rods, and am nowhere near that quality of work. Good job.

Just out of curiousity: how long did that rod take to build? If I had the patience to do something like that (which I don't), it would take me a year and a half to finish it.

Thanks Chris,
Well it really didn't take me long,
I had a problem with the threads gapping,
which are still there if you really lookhard at it.
And for as patience, LOL I don't have any at all
but when I sit there in front of a blank its like
throw out the window (patience that is) and start
wrappping. But really it only took me about week to do it
between work and other things going on. I have a few other rods
I built that makes the boat rod look bad. I will upload them once I can figure out
how to do the all at one time.
