jnovlan Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Great to watch a master craftsman at work! Also helps me to understand how bamboo rods are crafted and why they are so expensive! Loved the video-- and enjoy my chats with Don when we cross paths fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbowtrout Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I was lucky enough to pick one up this last spring. Don was even nice enough to show me the shop and walk me through the process. It really gives you a lot more appreciation for the amount of time and effort that goes into each rod. I hit the Oldman with Bobloblaw and on my first cast with the new rod I hooked into a nice Cutt.

Roast Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Very cool video, thanks for sharing. I thought don was using a Morgan hand mill now. Cool to see the tools used, both bought and engineered like the rod binder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Don is a true craftsman and conservationist! I have had the honour of fishing with him a few times and I hope to again in the near future! Thank you Don for all your volunteerism!

DonAndersen Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Very cool video, thanks for sharing. I thought don was using a Morgan hand mill now. Cool to see the tools used, both bought and engineered like the rod binder. I use both the Morgan Mill and planing forms + planes. Depends on how I feel. Heading for the web site over the next week or so are several rods. Plus I have two more in the build line up. Kinda laid back this year. Only got 7 in the works. I think I'm spending too much time on the IPad >Facebook. Thanx for posting the video SD. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Your more than welcome Don. One of these days when I scratch together some sheckles you'll be building a SD special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
