Yes and and my advise is get ready for a lot of work. You will be working with small pieces of wood and you ordinary lathe will not work. I converted my drill press to make it work. you will also need a set of dial calipers. Oh yes also seeing as you are tying flies, building rods, now wood reel seats, next cork handles you had better go get two part time jobs to support your hobby ROTFLMAO. Naw not that expensive just my advise is start with one and practice, practice, practice and then move on to the other. Any help I can be just ask I am so far into the dark side that I will never see the light of day again. Oh almost forgot when will you start furling leaders? BOB
