Wasn't a seminar, just a get together of rodbuilders from SOL. 12 guys showed up in my basement. Lots of really nice rods, plus someone brought their lathe that they made. Was more of a hang out session for rod builders than anything.

I have another one where we are going to try and cover specific topics next Sunday. Setting up Spinning: cone of flight vs Concept, Casting: traditional vs. spiral wrap. What guides to use, what reel seat, grip lengths, etc. Should be interesting.

NOthing wrong with teh larger "Seminar", but 15 minutes to cover a topic is OK for certain topics, but not for everything. It's also a lot harder to learn in a group of 15-20, or even in an auditorium where someone gives us a presentation for 3 hours. You know what I mean. Small group "meetings" are a much more effective way to learn, but getting people to show up on a semi-consistant basis is nearly impossible.
