Have just ordered a rod kit from the very nice folks at Global dorner.

Notice from Al Campbell's inspiring article that I will need a device to turn the rod.

Having now depleted fly fishing funds for awhile (funny how this has happened), I thought of making a "turning device" in this way: Make to "bookend like" holders with V cuts; create turning tool by mounting a Black & Decker electric screwdriver, drilling hole in a wood block about 1.5 in diameter, glue this to an old drill bit, attack PVC pipe to this wood block, and then insert rod handle into the PVC. I dont have access to a rotisserie motor...

Is this crazy..anyone have other thoughts?

thanks, learner
