:clapping: 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.

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. (Steve has pics :) )

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.

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!

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.
