I am about ready to build a 14 " handle from rings on a steel rod, as the rings will be tight on the iron rod, I was going to glue up about 2/3 of the handle, after the glue is dryed make sure it is moveable on the rod then build the rest of the handle on top of the frist section, that way I won't have to worry about the whole handle stuck, just the last section that was glued , I will be useing a drill to turn the whole handle after it is all dryed do I have the correct way or should I just glue it all at one time , I have built a few handles for FLY rods [they are all short] any input the onesI have built turned out just fine no problems in the way I have finished them

You can also make the handle in two sections and when glued onto the blank a tight fit and little sanding and you should not see a thing Bill - willierods.com Re: making a 14 " HANDLE for a SPEY

William,
I have done many such handles on a threaded rod. By using a threaded rod, just go ahead and glue up the rings to form the grip. After the glue has dried, turn the grip as needed. Then, just chuck the rod into a drill , hit the reverse switch and unscrew the rod from the grip. By using the threaded rod, rather than a smooth rod, the rod can be easily unscrewed from the finished handle. Then, ream as needed and glue up the rod blank. REW Re: making a 14 " HANDLE for a SPEY

I pre-drill the cork rings to like 3/8" and use a waxed 3/8" rod for the glue up. Shape the whole 14" grip, it will push off the mandrel and there is less reaming than 1/4" hole. Re: making a 14 " HANDLE for a SPEY

Why not glue directly to the blank and turn the whole thing on the blank.
