THere is still room for anyone interested in attending (EVERYONe is invited). Check out what I will be covering in less than a week:

TOPICS (I have a LOT of info to cover, I hope each person comes prepared with a list of Q’s, a notepad, camera – this way each person soaks in as much as possible and I can focus on specifics):
- Dec Wraps A to Z. Please bring something you wrapped if possible.
- Dec Grips Q & A – I will be explaining how some of the grips are made, I cannot construct a grip. Those who have made grips with inlays please bring them. EVA, cork, wood whatever.
- Building a rod for Inshore Fishing, which blanks, materials, components, setting it up, micros
- How to make a custom rod with no artwork – purely functional and how to tweak blanks, components, etc. to get exactly what you want in the finished rod
- Visualwrap & VisualWeave Q & A

This meeting sounds just like something I need very badly. However I am in Georgia and I am not sure where you are planning to have this workshop. When are you going to have one down south?

I am looking forward to having Steve Zayas help me out with the Dec WRaps presentation. He has done so much in such a short period of tim e(building les than 2 years), that he should inspire builders to see that they are capable of doing these wraps if they put the work in.
