As of yesterday's mail, the 60,000th decal featuring the International Custom Rod Building Symbol was given away. How do I know the number? Because I know the quantities involved in each of 3 separate decal orders. Now about half that send the SASE request 2 (the limit per SASE) and we have given away a few thousand at a couple of the Expo's in 2010 and 2011, so this number of 60,000 doesn't represent the number of individual builders that sport the decal (somewhere). But it does point to the worldwide acceptance and display of the symbol by many, many thousands of custom rod builders.

On Tuesday morning I'll order another 20,000 and we'll continue to the free offer until those run out. If you do send for one (or two) make sure to include a 5x7 inch envelope. I can't put a 5 inch diameter decal into a 3 inch letter envelope, so any letter sized SASE are regulated to the trash. Should have the new batch of decals in about 2 weeks.

HI Tom,

I am so proud to tell all the people that ask me " what does this symbol mean?" It starts a conversation that can last from 10 to 60 minutes .I that tell all how much I have learned about building a better rod for them, that leads to ," how do they help". When I here that I am sure I have a client to build for hopefully .


Once again Thank you for all you have given to the craft of Rod Building.
