Here is a stupid question... (there's no such things as stupid questions, only stupid people who ask questions)


How do you do the awesome paint jobs? I mean the ones where the top paint fades into the bottom? Also, how do you get that awesome scale finish? Not with tubraid, just with the paint.

John,

This is where my OCD is helpful. I'm anal about getting things right. If I don't like how it turns out, I'm not above starting over. Like I said before, once I get my feet on the ground and I make my rods and Mindi's rod, I'm open for trades. I would NEVER EVER make a rod for someone without knowing what I'm doing. If mine turn out well, then I'll move forward.

The next Al Goldberg? I don't think so. Rod building isn't going to be a business for me. Just something for myself and something I can use to barter other goods with.

I'll be open to all sorts of different stuff to barter so pay attention. Once you see my work and you're interested, might be able to trade you a rod for whatever.

Plus my aunt and uncle are huge fishermen. Walleye, black bass, perch, bluegill, catfish, they catch them all. Custom rods might be a nice way to pay them back for all the trips they've taken me on and all the birthday and christmas cards.
