I see you're having problems with the mandrel / blank staying in the chuck .. I put a heavy duty rubber band on the jaws and I don't have any problems anymore .. keeps that pressure on the blank / mandrel ... just an idea. The jaws still will open when you twist 'em, and close again. The rubber band simply helps it stay closed.

What sort of saw are you using ? I didn't quite get it ? A WIRE SAW ??? AHHHH .. I found it .. german style jewelers saw .. ordered! You do A GREAT JOB of separating money from people hahahahahha

I noticed you are building on MHX now and not NFC is there a reason?😬

Thanks for the in-depth information you show and give! The other people I watch don’t do that at all!

just got mine last week waiting on a blank to show up

Just finished a build for my Dad about 2 weeks ago with one. Easy to build on, kind of weird that the middle of the grip was almost skinnier than the blank. Added the aluminum winding check. Feels good, not my particular style, but Dad loves it. Great video - I'm sure this is goin to get lots of hits for folks wanting install instructions, thanks!

Recently everwhere was out of the quick bond. I picked up the new g4 15 minute. They mean 15 minute. It is very firm (and hot) in 15 minutes and rock solid in 20

I lile the looks of carbon handle kits, but they make them too long. Wish they were around 8 inches.

Have two in my cart right now!

Where is the spine in correlation to the the end of the rod I guess what I'm trying to ask is do you use the spine like regular casting or do you do it like a spinning rod use the spline on the inside at the end of the pole or do you use the spine on the outside and at the end of the pole?

Ok I have a question. You’re talking about different densities in the cork. I recently picked up a bunch of acrylic blanks I’m sure you’re familiar with. How am I going to sand these if I want alternating cork and acrylic rings?. I’m waiting on my lathe so have time to figure it out before hand. Should I sand the acrylic rings down first to the correct diameter then build the grip because the cork sands much easier?

Do you ever have issues with order multiples of the same exact blank and tip-top size being different? Just experienced this for the first time. Wondering how prevalent this is. Had another blank where I even ordered half a size larger than specs listed for blank and it still didn't fit.

I agree 200% i rather have way too much then not enough.

I really enjoy watching your videos. You provide a lot of information and I’m just an old guy. Try to learn how to do this. I’ve done three rods now and you’ve been very helpful.

Any specific reason you balance it before you put the guides on? On my 3rd build and want to balance it per your instructions as I think it’ll make for a better rod.

Great video! Thanks for the information! Can this be done with a 18RPM dryer?

I was taught to use wax on the threads. I think I'll try the Teflon tape, though

Good stuff man ty for sharing

It's like you were talking directly to me I just ordered my stuff to make grips.

Never thought of the Teflon tape that’s why I watch you. One can always learn something.😅

Hello, I can’t for the life of me find the video where you talk about the foot pedal upgrade. What model did you buy please?

This is all very nice, but if there was a video, it would be even better!😉

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

Where can I find that style of hook keeper. Great looking rod!!!

Thanks for the great video Lee, I have a question regarding running guides and the tip top, I have found that with the heavier rods it is difficult to find a 4 or 5 ring tip top to fit the bigger blanks. Does it make a big difference if you use say no4 running guides and a 5 ring tip top or no 5 running guides and a 6 tip top?

Look great. They are going to be pumped for these. Have enjoyed watching this build.

What exactly is the purpose of these ramps?

I would like to buy a custom rod

Stay out of Louisiana 😂

Amazing!!!!😮😮😮

To be optimal, and increase line efficiency, you need 1 more transition guide.

Can u use a mica powder to color epoxy?

What brand is the expoxy paste you are using?

I’ve learned so much from watching every single one of your videos. Thank you very much please keep up the great work

A good set of calipers would be easier to get the parts reamed out.

You taught them to do the right thing by loading the rod, stringing it and moving to guides to their final position based on the actual spacing to achieve ample stress distribution along the parabolic curve of the rod. At this stage, measure.ents don't matter as all blanks will be a bit different and this is the correct way to space and layout guides. You and I have the same problem with use of our hands as we want. Mine is from an accident. It gets quite frustrating but nothing with a few swear words now and then, keeps you honest.

Could you tell me which video had the foot pedal upgrade information you mentioned. Thank you

Always like a good marbling Ep Lee. ? With your marbling under the seat, do you make it a snug fit to the internal diameter. Thanks Stevo

I understand, thank you very much!

It takes a lot of time to do this. Thank you.

Congratulations sir! I really like how you do marbling, I took your example and did it also on my second rod that I built! I have a question: how many layers do you apply when marbling? Thanks, looking forward to the sequel!

Is there a reason not to store the syringes in the bottle inserts? I have been doing that so I don't mix them up.

This is where two epoxy mixer would be handy.

Black cap should be the hardener

You have inspired me to build more rods. Q: Does the Fuji VSS reel seat work both directions. I see fore grips and rear grips that have the cut outs.

Sorry sir misunderstanding I was just wondering if he was going to do videos from his Ride Shop that's all

Recently became a member and ordered some blanks for my first build. Love the channel and videos.

Estou chegando agora no canal, moro no Brasil e estava a procura de ensinamentos para construir e consertar minhas próprias vara de pesca e de alguns amigos. Agradeço demais a sua iniciativa em compartilhar o seu conhecimento. Meu ingles nao é muito bom, mais assisto os vídeos usando a legenda com tradução automática (nao é muito bom, mais ajuda bastante). Um forte abraço

I do like the Q & A format every now and then.

I just stumbled onto your channel and love your content. Question: I’m a newbie and was wondering how do you know which blank to buy? I see popping blanks and crappie blanks but don’t see any spinning blanks. Can any blank be used for spinning reels or is it dependent on the particular blank?
