Thats what i will do like Phil said just glue 2 1/8" pieces together to make a 1/4" ring. Phil is that Gyros saw is it a blade or the blade and the handle, and where would I get this?
Forum: rodboard

From the half inch to the 1/4 of an inch, it cuts the 1/8 and the 1/16 with the washer, but not the 1/4 form the 1/2 inch cork ring.

I have just recieved the cork jig from Mudhole, and I just cut some cork and let me say it works alot better then trying to cut that cork with out one, I have some half inch thick cork rings, and wanted to cut them into 1/4 inch thick rings but the cork jig does not do 1/4 inch thickness, so I guess i will have to buy some, but over all it works really great , alot better then the razor blade and

You're right Jim about that cost, but one of the rod is for a church friend of mine and he fishes a lot, so I hope and pray that he teaches his kid how to take care of the rod, I think I did put over $75 to build this rod, the other was considerably less since i had the blank and most of the components I had as extra stuff, either way I am sure once they start to learn to fish it will be a joy fo

I just built 2 of them kids kind of rods, I bought a Mudhole CRB rod in in blue and cut it down to like 5 foot , and rod blank I had I cut it to 4and ahalf, then got a Zebco micro reel 11, and did a static test for the guides, kinda funny cause I never did a static test for such short of rod, the reelseat needed an arbor,I drilled it a little too much for the smaller rod, so I had to use a liitl

Thanks Roger, I really don't need the other just looking for the checkerboard cutting jig, but I guess I will have to get both, if i can't find just that one, Thanks again.
Forum: rodboard

Hello Jeff, I am just looking for the jig itself, I'm hoping. Thanks anyway.
Forum: rodboard

I am looking for a christmas present which would be a cork jig to hold them cork rings in to slice them into different sizes I am sure you know what I am talking about, all I am looking for is the round cork jig itself, and all i can find is the kit. The ?, is there anyone that knows where I can get just the jig itself? if so please contact me. Thank you.

Thanks to Karen from Bingham Enterprises I have the micro #5 on the way, Thank you Karen, I had just got done with a couple of builds and this one just came up and i noticed I had not the micro that i needed, money is tight, but i will get extras next time! Tight wraps!
Forum: rodboard

I just needed one so I thought since I ran out that the S&H suppliers charge for one would be way over teh cost of the guide that I wanted, so if any rodbuilder has an extra one to let go of, they can contact me, Thank you.
Forum: rodboard

I am need of a size 5 micro, it doesn't matter what brand, as long as it is chrome, or close to that look. I am willing to pay for the guide plus shipping and handling, I am hoping to find one before thanksgiving. Thanks for reading, Tight wraps all!
Forum: rodboard

Thanks all, so I should be good with the 4wt, simply cause the 4wt has more power, backbone, then the 2wt. now to look for a 4wt.
Forum: rodboard

My thiught was that the 4wt would be like twice the stifness or twice the slowness then the 2wt, I will just have to have it in my hands to tell the difference from the 2wt that i have. Thanks.
Forum: rodboard

I would like to know how much more slower or stiffer the 4wt is to the 2wt? this is my first time trying to compare fly rod blanks, I only built a 2wt so far, so I am just wondering, probably a hard ? to answer, but any help will be helpful and appreciated. Thanks!
Forum: rodboard

I may add I use the lightest i can go, like Adam stated, 600, I always finish with a higher grade don't know if it matters but to me it makes me feel more secure when I put the epoxy coat on.
Forum: rodboard

Thats how I do it. it works out even better when I sand it down smooth and straight, just got to be careful not to go down to the thread, happened to me and I had to redo the whole wrap.
Forum: rodboard

Thats just a little too much equipment for me, I have no problems with the syringe, and a mixer, But still I think your method will work, I guess it does for you, Tight wraps!
Forum: rodboard

So Mark what your'e saying is that the more lengthy the pattern is the chance that it will slip? Just wanting to make sure cause I hae done various lengths of wraps and is wondering if that is why some slip more then others.
Forum: rodboard

Same here, what I eventually did was fill it up best I could with rod bond or epoxy then wrapped a dark thread over that and carefully epoxied it, being careful not to get epoxy on the cork or eva, I wiped the excess epoxy off as it was turning on the dryer, very carefully again, I am thinkiing if them clamps that Mudhole sells is gonna help but I haven't tried them yet , hope this helps, I know
Forum: rodboard

But what is it? I am thinking it is just a bucket of paint that you dip part of your rod in, can anybody clearify this for me? Thank you.

I was wondering, what about folding a big piece of cardboard, like the rods blanks I get , what I mean is like using bubble wrap and paper stuffing, and tape it up, with a piece of really thick cardboard taped on the bash for support, seems to mre it would work and would cost less. just curious.
Forum: rodboard

I don't mean to start a fire! I am truly sorry, about my ignorance about copywritten laws, I just didn't want to spend 30$ or more right now with Christmas coming up, kinda tight right now, I will probably just do a simple Chevron that I know by rememberance. Thanks all for the law school on copyright, Tight wraps all!
Forum: rodboard

I would like to ask, does anyone or could anyone have the pattern for the Thunderbird or the Angel wrap pattern, I am trying to get this pattern without haveing to spenfd the 30 some dollars on the deco book, I am willing to buy it from someone if neccessary. I wanted this pattern for someones Christmas gift, if I can get it by then, Thank you, just thought I would ask. have a good one and tight

George, I just got finished with one, a med-hvy 7'3", MHX. fast act. I got #10, then #5, then 4.5 all the way to tip. I had built rods with all 3,s and some with a 5 then 4.5, then all 3,s to tip, the only difference I see is that the butt guide is closer to the reel seat, and the look is different, but casting wise, I cannot tell to much difference, But I do think the one with the #10, does
Forum: rodboard

The reason I brought this up is because I have just built one with the #10, then the #5,then 4.5 running guides, I still got it on the dryer, and it should be ready for the real testing by tomorrow. It worked really well when I tested it with the guides taped on, so I know that it will work great! looks good too.
Forum: rodboard

Lol! Just curious, Cause of the Fuji concept where the casting guides is #10 then a #5, then 4.5 or 4s, but I guess you wouldn't really need them to be like the microwaveguides. Wonder how it would look though. A Microwave with a casting #10 and a #5, in one component.
Forum: rodboard

Do they have the microwave guide system come in casting guides, or are they just in the spinning sets?
