S-B Rod Building Series by Mike @ M&D's is scheduled for Feb 3rd 2007 at Mike's house in West Wareham - 11 am.

We feel we can do 12-15 people provided some are coming to see how it works and not all trying to build (simple factor of time and room). If we keep it less than 10 people actually building we can have more people watching.

You can bring your own building stuff or a bring something for repair.

Questions?

Interested people?

Big Thanks to Mike for offering this to the S-B folk :btu:

A great oppurtunity to learn and go home with a rod or nearly built one.

I'll be in China. If the date gets moved , I'd like to help out.

If you have it in mind that you want to start on your rod at the class then consider haveing your reel seat in place/cured, before hand. Mike can do one for all to see, finding spline too. Also, guys who already know the basics can get help on decorative wraps.

I would like to come and watch, slight chance I would build if there is space...oh and if i can come up with the money to buy what is needed before hand:hs: ...so ill probably just watch.:kewl: :gu:
I have a friend who is interested in watching also if there is room.

Thanks, thats what I was wondering. I'll have the reel seat already done

if there is room and by me being there isnt going to keep someone else from coming to watch . Im in to watch and maybe a repair . BUT if someone that hasnt seen a rod built wants in by all means I will stay home . Been there and know how its done .

We were at the shop till 4pm. sorry I did not see this sooner.

Next week we are closed on Saturday for the rod fling.

If some one needs some parts say so and I will bring from the shop. If you don't know what you need just PM me & we can go over it. Each person is responsable to bring his or her own guides seats, thread & Blanks . I do have some thread but it's kinda tough not wanting to rush someone to finish for the next guy to use it.
don't want to run out of stuff or you won't get to finish.

PM me and I'll send address and Phone in case you get lost.

also if you want to bring some food say so in the new thread I'll start.

Mike
