MAINE - Life in the Slow Lane
Dang good job so far. 
Neat thing with BYOR (build your own rod) is you can do a Burger King with it, Have it your way
Once you really start getting into it you'll be searching out specific blanks for a specific purpose. Great stuff to play around with!
Today i sat down about 8:30 and figured i would do the tip and start the guides after about an hour of watching you tube i felt confident to go ahead and start . i got the tip on in good shape in about 25 min and started on the hook holder figure good place to start , i wrapped it twice and didn't like it so i undid it and did it one last time this time i was happy with the results i am hand wrapping these so its a little more difficult have to work it slow and make sure it stays even .... so i learned after about 10 attemps on the 1st guide it tooke me a few hours and a few walk aways to get it down i figured out everything possibly not to do in that 4 hours and feel confident i should have all the guides on and wrapped by the end of the week . touching them up with grey thread is gonna be a learning thing as well .. so after about 6 hours i got tip on and 1 hook holder and 1 guide i am happy with it so far ......
Looking good Zig
The absolute berries my man! I got your reel ready and after seeing the wrap color I just had to back and line it with a wonderful WF3 green line. That outfit is gonna be some sharp!

At the rate the Lad is going I'm thinking I'll be mailing him the reel on account of this miserable moon boot is so big I can't hit the gas peddle without mashing the brake too. 
Got back at it today with hopes of it going alot smoother and it did iwas able to get all the main color green wraps done all the guides on and a little decoration ferrels all done as well giving it a break for the day got about 16 hours into it and more to come will work on it again tomorrow and hope to get the rest of it pretty close ording some sort of decal i have seen a few that have caught my eye .. so after friday it will sit over the weekend and i prob will epoxy it 1st coat on tuesday ..
hers what i have gotten thus far ....
koda prob within 2 weeks we can do the reel i will be ready for it 
koda , i am hoping this will come out good and if so and i enjoy it i will prob pick up another kit for my nymphing rod prob like i have said before a 4wt 9-10' So far its pretty cool.
My wife had to go up north yesterday and met up with Nic to grab the dryer spinny thing, and some tools he lent me, Thanks Nic
so today i will research how to do the guides and prob get started hoping to be able to expoy the rod by this time next week ... wanna take my time and havn't really decided on , if any personlization may have to get some paint and a brush or order a decal or two ... got build it 1st and see how it looks with the guides wrapped thinking its gonna look good with the pea soup green and the smokey silver to accent them on the black ... only time will tell.....
