Is there another newsgroup for rod building?

I'm building my first rod and having the darndest time getting the
guides straight. Are there any suggestions for getting them on
straight?


Tape on all the guides before wrapping them, and move them around till
you're satisfied. A taut string might help you align them (at least if the
blank is perfectly straight). If your using two-foot guides, tape both
feet. Remove tape on one foot to wrap, then remove the tape on the other
foot to complete the wrap.
