Watched the video several times. What I'm getting is 1)spine the blank 2) apply tip top 3) apply reel seat and handle 4) apply guides. Is this how you guys do it?? My biggest concern is getting tip top, reel seat and guides aligned properly.
Thanks in advance,

Spine each section and build out each section relative to the spine of that section. When assembled, it'll all match up as long as everything is lined up straight when built. You never have to line up tip top to reel seat. Maybe the most challenging to get lined up is the reel seat to stripper, mount your reel when doing this.
Finish comes last! Alignment of the guides b4 finishing is a little tricky. Take yourtime and try 2-3 methods. Then some day when the fish aren't biting you will look at the rod and say "I think that guide is a tad off". And so it goes...... Allyn
