Custom Rod Building - My Thoughts
This hobby is the most humbling endeavor I have ever toyed with. I should have remembered why I quit building model cars when I was a kid. LOL
If I had hair, I would pull it out. A perfectionist nightmare at times. All for peace of mind and the big black bass. Tony |

It's definetely not for anyone trying to save money building their own rods. It is addicting though. When I get frustrated I remember what a high-school shop teacher told us: " The sign of a true craftsman is how well he hides his mistakes".

You got that right Mike. And CiK, I want to put my hand through the table sometimes, ,especially when I pull a trim band out hahahaha. But it is an awesome feeling just like any other person that builds something they personally use.

You guys make it sound soooo easy at times. I am sorry to say this to you, but I am glad to hear others experience the trials and tribulations of this hobby. LOL
All things are good until I get to the finish, then I become all thumbs. With all things, it will get better with more practice. |

What I found when I started out was that by the time I got to the finishing step, I was so anxious to see the finished product that I found myself rushing without even realizing it at first. Once I got past that, it was just a matter of establishing a routine or system or what heve you and sticking to it.
