I am sorry if I was a little flip, I first decided to build bamboo rods in 1952, and finally got the first one built in 1070. Your 1 and 1/2 hours kind of hit me. Like Bob says, you can do it, it will take time and yoou will be so gratified when you finish. Need any help,there are lots of us who will assist you. My e-mail is rmoon@fairpoit.net.

Good Luck
