Sounds like a great idea...and I'd sure like to get a better grip on weather or not I could actually pull this off...After doing some digging..I definitely have more than a little doubt...
I have built Hex rods from ferruled blanks...but as for the planning and such..I'm not all that great with a plane.

Currently waiting on a reply to an email I sent out to a rod maker a little SE of me...Don't know if he does or would be willing to do a blank..But It sure can't hurt to ask the man...

I'd like to see this in steps detailing the process,Now you have me courious as to weather there might be a video or something out there.....Perhaps more digging!...

Ty,For the reply,Bill
