don't underestimate yourself, that looks pretty cool

a couple I have, all my good rods went to other people before I could snap some pics, what a dope:doh:

..

few

couple of my first rods

..My first attempt at a Robert's/spiral wrap...
BTW. I love a convench this way, :uhuh:

Dave, I gotta sit in sometime when you are doing guides, dayum :shocked:

:kewl: :gu:

:D

Reelecstasy, I like your clean even lines,nice work dude. A little criticism 4 u. Imo, I would try to build up your wraps a little more so that you see less under wrap, about 50-50 fills it in nicely. Also, I like either a light or dark under wrap, when you use a color that is neither its harder make your wraps stand out, they kinda clash against each other. Again, awsome work!

I am no where near you guys so I more than welcome critisism, I just started this winter, those are my first 4 rods. I have only done about 20 or so. That's what we are here for, to learn, everyday is a school day. Thanks any and all help appreciated!

I've been likin' no underwrap at all lately. Give it a try..

No worries about the wrap sliding while you are doing the wrap? I was wondering about that?

Nope, not at all.

Shweet, I have a 1201m I was starting, I will try it on that...

I like trying to figure out the order of the thread in these patterns. Very inspiring but my head hurts now...

Simple one..

Looks sweet Dave, is the black 2 layers on the guide feet?
I have been doing that on the first guide.

Yup, I always do 2 layers on the feat, usually size A thread.

Thanks bud, nice colors btw...

do you guys sell these? All are quite nice

:humpty:

Dave. Did you wrap the silver trim bands after the underwrap?

With the underwrap, I'll post a How To next time I do one with pix if you want.

That would be great. I'll be looking for it.

:lurk:

should I take offense to that? Just a curious ? when I asked.

No offence..I sell is what I meant..

OK, i didn't think that I should. You do nice work. :cheers:

Did up a set of diamonds under the collector 50 guide on a 1201M yesterday. Spent 3 freakin hours on it from start to finish between measuring, re-measuring, grabbing a beer, and grabbing another beer. Hoping to get around to finishing the whole rod this week some time. Will put up pics once she is done. Matches the black and silver diamonds I posted earlier.
