Hi everyone,
Those of you who make your fly grips on a separate mandrel, if you’re needing to do a recessed hood, do you prefer to recess before shaping or after shaping and why? So far I’ve done both and I’m not sure which way I like better and was just trying to learn from anyone else’s experience. Re: To those of you who make fly rod grips on a mandrel

I prefer do do it after turning on cork or eva, before on wood Ron Weber Re: To those of you who make fly rod grips on a mandrel

I prefer to do it afterwards. The cork thickness around inlet is very thin and may crack while shaping. Secondly if the cork os slightly off center on the mandrel when starting, the inlet will be too. Re: To those of you who make fly rod grips on a mandrel

Afterwords, it just makes sense if you are already turning grips on a mandrel. To me, the shape needs to be right before anything. Re: To those of you who make fly rod grips on a mandrel

I use a Forstner bit and Dremel tool with small sanding drum to touch up. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/05/2022 12:36AM by Phil Erickson. Re: To those of you who make fly rod grips on a mandrel

I do it before so that way it is exactly in the center after its turned. I have ran into several issues doing it after the fact. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
