Hi Hairwing,
I am still getting around to getting all the stuff bought. I have a couple of blanks, and want to get a couple more, but don't have all the supplies bought yet to even build one rod. Been tying flies, and want to go fishing. My plan is to read up on rod building, get stuff gathered up, and work on rods this winter.
Some folks might comment that the progress I am making amounts to dithering around........could be......that thought is also occuring to me too.
Actually making the decisions on what to buy seems to be a battle. Figuring out the type of seat, size guides, color of thread, etc. On some of the stuff, I am about to just look at some of my current rods, and make a decision. I am not good at colors, being a little color blind. It's been a surprize as to how much there is to know, where to get the supplies, etc.
Every one here who has posted advise has been of great help. Thank you all for answering so many of the very basic beginnerish questions that I have had. Sorry I have had so many questions.
Thanks and regards,
Gandolf
