Wow what a great article. Thank You Smernskyi. I loved the pics and the writing. You have a nice setup for building
I agree. I’ve been looking forward to reading that since Smernsky said he was writing it. Well done, my friend.
the article will inspire someone else to do a project? This is just great stuff.
There is also a thread on the Fly tying forum on this. 
My many thanks for being afforded the opportunity to contribute a little something to this great web site.
I hope some will read the article, and take the plunge into rod building. It is a great hobby with lots of room to experiment and share information. I’ve never been one to hide information or had an ego that says “i’m the best”. I am constantly learning new things and dont mind passing things along that may help the next guy avoid a problem or two ,that I’ve already experienced. Again thanks to all.
Smernsky you said that so well. I to do do not have a attitude that I am the best or even feel that I am good but I as well will help you built a rod any way I can. There is a lot of help here and people are more then willing to help.
