This project was started in the spring of 2008. The actual make began nearly a year later once most of the required tools and cane were in hand.

The fly rod is crafted by hand, but my ShopSmith (combination table saw, drill press, jointer, disk sander, and lathe) has been essential to the work.

In this post:
1) Gluing Up

One special note at the outset here: the further along I get in this process, the more indebted I feel to Lee (hexrod on this forum). Lee is a bamboo fly rod maker in Lincoln and his advice and guidance has become essential to me! I’m not sure if Lee still visits the forum, but if so, thanks Lee!!!

So anyway…...
