For the Rodbuilders

[LanceD]

I know there are a few rodbuilders on this forum so I thought I'd show a few reel seats that I turned from acrylic. These are quick and easy to turn using the round 3/4" blanks That I purchased from the group buy a couple of months back.

Thanks for looking.

Great idea..those will make for some unique flyrods. I have been playing with the idea of making a rod in the near future. Can you help me out with some helpful links...including hardware distributors, etc?

thx..
Chris

I was wondering where the talk about small block Chevys, and '32 Fords was goin' to start. Oh, different rods, never mind................

Nice workmanship!

 

[LostintheWoods]

Yep, me too! Saw the header title (is there a pun there?) and dropped in, expecting to see a '32 5-window or something! Nice work, though! 'Way too pretty to use on the ugly ol' browns I hook up with in the Sierras, though (oops! Another pun/pen reference!) I gotta take a vacation.

Very nice inserts. I will post a few of mine soon.
Another good sit is www.rodbuildingforum.com . Great bunch of folks over there. If I can be of assistance to any one with building a fishing rod let me know. I did my first one in 1971 fuji skeletons I assume.
