Hi Jed,

Saw where you gave me a site to check out some of the materials I am looking for on my own project. You know, this is fun. I have asked so many questions and everyone has really been super in putting up with me. I've got mine completely stripped and need to straighten out three tips. Then ready for finish and the rest. What I am putting into it, time and money wise is worth it even though the rod won't be worth it. I am going to find another one and do it all over again. Let me know how yours turns out.
