What kind of gathering? And is anybody welcome? I am from the chicago area, new to rod building, and looking for anything that might be a good introduction to the hobby.

Larry,

It's a bunch of rodbuilders getting together to exchange ideas, info, tips, tricks, etc. As a new builder, it would be beneficial and hook you up with some good builders in your area..

Your e-mail is hidden so shoot me an e-mail at mbarkley@wowway.com and I'll fill you in

I plan to be there also. All depends on how I feel for my shoulder surgery Tuesday. Already got a ride lined up with Jim Fowler. Now, I just hope I feel good enough to go.

Jim, The best therapy is a day with the boys talking rod building. A few cold ones and the pain is gone. You already have a driver.. Best wishes on the surgery and a speedy recovery.
