I wanted to make a quick comment about this months issue. It may just be the best issue that has ever been produced. Everything is really well done from Abalone and Axis to Microguides.

The contributing writers and editors have really put together a nice one.

Well done,
Jim

The contributors outdid themselves. It is a pleasure to work with builders who constantly exhibit unusual creativity. I was told 11 years ago that I'd soon run out of topics - no chance. We can keep going forever at this rate.

Great articles ! I got to read mine tonight after a 4 day fishing trip. It was like putting icing on the cake.
All great articles but one that I thought was so very timely was " Rod Set Up - Straightest Axis" . When just the other day we had a lengthy thread on trying to explain that very subject. A picture IS worth a thousand words. If you are a Rod Builder and you don't have a subscription to Rod Maker Magazine you are missing out on a ton of great information that every Rod Builder needs, whether you are an old hand or just getting started, you need RM.
Great job done by Tom and all the contributing writers,,,,Thanks Guys !
