I got the CDs in today. I will begin boxing and shipping them on Friday. Most of you who have ordered them should have them early next week.

I had left out a few of the article topics but have added them below. It's a very lengthy list and the best Special Edition CD to date, in my opinion.

........

The final 2009 CD in the RodMaker Special Edition Series will be ready in the coming week. It focuses on specialty rod building tools, fixtures, shops, etc. It sells for $29.95 and can be ordered via mail by check or via paypal. There is a limited number of CDs being prepared. If there are any left after the initial orders I will put them on the RodMaker website. I expect there will be some on the website in about 2 to 3 weeks. In the meantime, a check or money order or PayPal payment for $29.95 will get you a copy. Specify that you want the RodMaker “Special Edition #3 - Tools, Fixtures & Shops” and I’ll get your copy mailed out late this coming week, postpaid. Email address is rodmaker@earthlink.net

Mailing Address is: RodMaker, PO Box 1322, High Point, NC 27261

The new CD is the largest to date - it includes 30 topics and is over 100 pages long. It includes articles from past issues of RodMaker Magazine, plus a few topics that have never appeared in print previously.

This will be the last Special Edition CD until next Summer.
