That information was contained in RodMaker Magazine some time ago. I'd have to go back and look up the volume and issue number. It can certainly be done very well and very effectively. But it requires careful planning and operation on your part.

Yes you can do it! You can also just buy a two piece model and save yourself the trouble. If you are just starting out I think I would say to just buy a two piece and be done with it.
