'Building Your Own Rod' with Dale Clemens & Scientific Angler

Hi all, I am looking for a copy of one of Dale Clemens' 3M tapes 'Building Your Own Rod'... back in the 90s I had a copy but several moves and time has it 'gone by the way of the buffalo' as they say... seen where it was to be put to DVD but haven't seen that either.

Hi Bill,
Sorry to hijack your thread.
I'm sure I read somewhere that Dale described a guide foot holder to help with the dressing of guides, do you know if there is such a thing and maybe where I could get hold of the info?
Regards,
Phil.

Hey guys, maybe i am missing something here but where in Bill Blount's post did he ask for a guide foot holder ? I think the question was about a Dale Clemment's 3M tape ?? And thanks to Marco for the gracious reply.

Tom

Tom, you are right, but there is a Clemens guide holder in the for sale section.
