Thankyou.......

I understand the basics of finding the spine, binding guides, installing the grips and reel seat.
Can someone point me to where I can see or learn how to bind the decorative weave pattern. Preferably an internet site.
Very interested to see how it is done. Maybe Jumpy next time you are doing one I can see how it is done.

Thanks for the reply JG, in future to avoid confusion I will call them Fushin Rodz with long butts and bitz of cork missin.

Allready did that in thread below took stage pics of a weave coming together.

Unless you're geting into the more complex say fish weaves all other patterns are a spin off from your simple chevron or diamond patterns & it's up to your imagination as to how the pattern will turn out.

Cant help you out with rod building sites as I dont visit any try googling them up but think you 1st need some basic knowledge if you want to understand what is being talked about.

had a good look at it J.G., but its not real clear how u do it, or am i just thick

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Haveyou tried Fluer poly ????

TV add says they're not as thick as some

Like I said in previous postyou really need a bit of imagination to work out where the weaves start & finish

The Chevron is prob the easiest of all the patterns & a good one to get started on till your skill starts developing

[poly]

thanks for that mate, but i don't think my eye site is good enough any more for that fine stuff.

go and get ya bloody eyes checked then poly ,,,,haaahahaaa

Yah When I do the binding I have a dirty great magnafying glass on a stand between me and the lathe
and find I was using my fingers to turn the rod and not the motor so sold the rod lathe and just made up a hand rotisary system.
Now I miss the lathe when doing under binding etc.
Can't win. Just give up and not do any fancy stuff is the best for me these days.

i did that Jas, the doctor bloke is still laughin

Like I said the Chevron is the easiest of the patterns.

Sincce all of a sudden there seems to be some interest in rod building I've started a new rod & will start a thread on Diamond Pattern from stratch.

Frank dont worry my eyes aren't what they used to be thats why I dont get into the real fancy stuff anymore.

But have to admit I've got a 6kg stick ready to bindup & toying wheather I do something like some eagles on the design.

[poly]

a parrot don't u mean, in green please ohhh and yellow trim would be nice

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Chooks !

Next thing you'll want is a plastic thingy boat on a rod

Well you guys will have to wait for the next rod to see the weave.

The pics came out crappy had to take the camera off auto so as the flash wouldn't glare the pics & they weren't focused.

I'll use the big camera next time.

Anyways no close up but here's the rod @ present stage this pic wasn't to bad, I'll post a pic of it completed when it's finished

[jasonb]

thank christ they dont make rods out of poly yet

[Jumpus GooDarus]

I Know I Know

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Thought some may be interested in seein how the rod in last pick came out after one coat of resin

[poly]

What brand of winch have u used j.g, the rod looks great will u add more resin

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Buggered if I know what brand the winch is

Not a Fuji but it's one of the better quality Chi Nee ones & let me tell you some of those Chi Nee/Taiwon ones are pathetic

Yes I generally do 2 coats on the light sticks sometimes a very fine 3rd coat

[Christos]

How do you do a very fine third coat?
