Any vids of you catching salmon with this rod

Nice

Where can I get the cork pie cutting equipment?or did you have it made?

I'm surprised that you don't use a vacuum bag? 🤔

What power wrapper brand are you using in this video?

Hello ! What is the name of the technology used to make the sticker? What process is used to make such a thin sticker?

Sweet build

Hi

What's the best way to sand cork after it's installed on the blank?

Nice

Lol! I'm his wife, and I just now see his short. I knew the setup looked familiar.

I have always wanted to do custom rod building. I’m not sure why, but the first time I saw someone building custom rods I’ve wanted to do it. I’m a disabled vet and at the VA hospital I used to go to they had a fly tying group that did little group fishing trips. They told me that they occasionally get rod building kits but I could never manage to get one. I couldn’t get out to fish in the areas they went so I figured another person could maybe benefit from the program… still, I wish I could have done the rod building. I just don’t have the money to get the tools and materials.

Great video! Do you mind if I ask which thread is in the top left (large spool)?

Hello Great content!!!! Notice you have magnets on the big spool attachment, can tell where you got them? Thanks

I ended up getting it 😂

Love the custom handles and butt cap

John it's been over a week since I applied my first of epoxy to the guides and need to apply the second coat any tips on applying the second coat since it's been over a week. Thanks

Are you still happy with printer? User friendly app? I want to pull the trigger just worried it will be a headache. Can you import images to app as well?

Good day John, I am thinking of building a BFS setup. I like how yours came out!! Just a wonderful scheme!! I am a fan of Winn grips are your grips still in production? Also I am working on a inshore/bass rod, and plan to use test out the Microwave Air system. Did you use a kit, for the Microwave Air? Have you have had any issues with Microwave Air stripper first guide ever fall out or do they rust due to the saltwater? Thank you for your help and quality work!!

I just ordered the px800 from Larry after finding your videos. Question I have for you, do you make each rod length, action, ect. tag in paint? Or do you use another program?

Could you share the link where you get the sleeves

Looks like they found an innovative way to use Bondic, the liquid plastic repair stuff that is cured in a few seconds with an led uv (?) light. This seems to be a good option for repairing a broken guide wrap, especially when you are away from home. Heck, there are plenty of guys who still swear by electrical tape.

Use plastic hose clamps works alot better.

I was wondering if the micro air wave guides would be alright spiral wrapped on a 12 ft casting float rod? I’m just getting into building steelhead fishing rods but I’m thinking it’s fine. I’ve used them on pike rods as well but will use the locking wrap as well.

Has the lower DPI of the PX400/ older version ever been an issue. For me it’s the main difference between the 400 and the 800.

While I can appreciate the efforts you've mad in this video... All I am seeing is Rodteck claims that their C-tape is super special "patent" product. Yeah well anybody who knows how carbon fiber tubes are made or played around with carbon fiber molding would know this C-Tape ain't no patent pending Rodteck super science. As far as UV resins, I am not entirely sure they chose the best solution going with Flashfix for this use case. But I guess they had to keep the cost down to attract customers.

Such a thing of beauty

Any idea if there is a weight difference between this and using thread and epoxy (the normal process)?

From asking on RBO one person states that the wrap / finish become brittle over time and crack or fail. How long have you had some of these rods out in the world? I'm thinking of trying some but only hesitant due to longevity - I have rods over 20 years old with thread and FlexCoat that are still going strong. I would sure like to see one of your finished rods to get an idea of what to expect. Your video was very informative. Another thought I had was guide replacement and what that would entail.

Thanks a lot for the good words. We put a lot into the Craftsman Lathe so we appreciate when someone enjoys using it so much.

Thanks for the great video. I had the Alps power wrapper. I am thinking of getting the Renzetti. I actually had reversed the track on my Alps so the thread carrier was on the side away from me.

Wow I commented on the wrong video sorry I dont know hoe it switched videos on me

So what all comes with this wrapper sorry if I'm asking to soon still watching video

Nice work John! Great idea

I saw your post on Facebook and left a comment. Interesting video, thanks for sharing it. I hadn’t seen your channel so I subscribed to you. Take care!

Cool video John. How difficult is it to adjust a guide that may be a little out of alignment before applying the plastic? Do align the guide before the tape or after? Thanks

It might be viable IF the C tape came in different colors. That is what most of my customers like best, the fact they can get custom colors on their wraps.

Maybe for trying a guide train before making one using thread. I would not use it on custom rods for sale. It seems a quick way of making a buck without showing any skill or craftsmanship.

I have tow of these lather 12 feet top quality nothing come close to lathe

Excellent video! Renzetti also produces US made, high-quality fly tieing vices. I have their Master Vice since 1994 with thousands of flies tied with no problems whatsoever. Thinking about their buying their rod lathe and you did a great job demonstrating! Thank you again!

Thanks for that review sir. I’ve been struggling with the decision of which power wrapper. Will def follow you for more information. Best, T

what guide sizes did you use on this build?

do you make vintage reproduction labels for fly rod makers of the 1920-1950's like Union Hardware Co. ? Any idea about multicolor printing of these labels?

What you said about the extra margin for trim bands...its like a light went off. Thank you.

Best place to get your printer is Larry at LRT Group. He focuses on working with the rid builder community. He also has great prices and chrome on clear tape.

John what's the difference between the pro coat epoxy and the CFX 800 Resin

I purchased a epson 400...the edges of the labels show in the epoxy...seems like the epson labels are to thick?

John How did you design your label

John I have not been able find the silver on clear or the blue on clear for Epson LW-PX400 labeler can you help? Thanks

What did you use at the top of the reel seat to close it up?
