Good news Eric. I’ve done several rods and learned a ton from different videos and visits to Mudhole. One of the perks of living a half hours drive away. I’m looking forward to see how it all works for you. One thing I want to tell you from personal experience is to not be intimidated by a given task or technique. For winding experiments, that’s why god made a razor blade. If you don’t like it, take it off and start again. I’ve even had to sand off finish and do it again. Most everything can be fixed or redone.
