Far out. I like the one in the middle.

Thanks to a poster, I explored Batson Rods
http://www.batsonenterprises.com/

I am much encouraged- by their offerings and prices.

How badly could I screw it up? (rhetorical question)
And it's not such a financial loss if I do.

BTW does anyone have plans for a rod turner? It seems that this is a
necessary piece of equipment.

A rod turner is not essential. I have built a number of rods without one,
and nobody can tell the difference. If you apply very thin coats of varnish
and turn the rod 1/4 turn every 5-10 minutes (less often after the first few
turns), it'll come out great. Of course, with a rod turner, you can put on
thicker coats and leave it unattended for hours. Worth it? Probably depends
on how many rods you're building - I don't average more than one every 5
years.

That's not her name, but I've taken to calling Mustang Sally
occasionally, which ****es her off, or at least she pretends it does
because she has sense of humor.

Or I can spend a little over a hundred bucks on the best block plane I can
find, take 30 seconds to get the blade advanced, maybe a minute to mark the
two sides of the chamfer (if I even bother), take a few quiet swipes of the
plane and I'm done.

I've found that when planing a table, it definitely helps to use the
proper tools......

Stanley, ID.

Where were you when I put disk brakes on my daughter's '66 Mustang?

With a Leatherman? Cool!

I'm not mistaken, Steve doesn't tie his own flies, preferring to buy

You're mistaken.


Oooops, sorry.


Chuck Vance (but the point I was making still stands)

I've read through your post several times and I can't figure out what
point you were trying to make. As near as I can tell, it's something
along the lines of since I don't tie flies I'm somehow lazy or clueless
or unqualified to comment about rod-building tools. But that's crazy
because, even if I am lazy or clueless or unqualified, I do tie flies.

Chill, Steve. My point is simply that some of us enjoy the creative
process as much as the end result. Others just focus on the end product.

It just so happened that I (mis)remembered that you didn't tie your
own flies. It wasn't a slam, just an obsveration.
