If you have RodMaker Volume 5 issue #1, you have a complete set of photos and instructions at hand.

If you have Dale Clemens Decorative Thread Art, you'll find the steps in there as well.

Rick, do you know an "Al Smallwood"? I ask because I have a rod with his name on it. I'd say it is 1960's vintage. It could be that my dad built it for him or it could be that he built it.

Tom...the sheet I had with the instructions was a photo copy from that issue of Rod Maker...I donated all of my RM mags to our local boy scouts troop here in town who wanted to get into rod building..needless to say I think I let someone borrow my photocopy and I never got it back! So now you see why I'am in desperate need ):

Russ...I dont know anyone named AL...but I do have a brother named Russ, funny enough!

Does anyone know of where I could fing that layout online??????

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you'll be set. Just change the orientation if you want them swimming up/down the rod.
