Hi,

Does it matter what you call it? Does building rods fullfill your needs or the reason you build them for fun or for sale. Call yourself what ever you desire? You can not eat a title or name but if you make money at it you can feed yourself. Like many others I have earned many titles over the years. These titles did not keep me from getting older. Most folks could care less about these titles. The subway token machine does not care if I am a craftsman, a user of craft items or a rod builder. It is all a state of mind, each individuals mind.

What counts is the quality of work performed!

Call me anything BUT late for dinner.
