The H&H kits are inexpensive but high quality. I mentioned to rainbowchaser that I might build some as Christmas gifts and after he cast my IM6 9' 3wt. he told me I'd have some very happy friends!
My first tensioner was made out of a mouse trap (found the plans in here) and it worked fine.
There are also a couple of rod building videos floating between members just getting started right now. Wait a couple of days and you may find out where it is.
P.S. Welcome aboard!!

I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here!
