Bankstick Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I live in SE Tennessee and retired seven years ago. I have nine grandchildren and have fun spoiling them and then sending them home. I got into turning when I began building custom fishing rods about eight years ago. I turn the grips and reel inserts. Right now I'm building a table for my building room and a couple of small things for the shop. Got some other things but they are not on the to-do list for right now. Looking forward to learning and exchanging ideas and experience with others on the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davewyo Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Welcome. Got any photos of these rods you make. I did some custom nets last year. Never thought of doing a rod. You say you do the grips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bankstick Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Thanks for the welcome! Yes, I make my grips and reel seat inserts. There are a myriad of combinations of materials- different cork colors and figuring plus all kinds of wood and synthetic materials. There is no end to what can be done. Each rod is one-of-a-kind. I'm updating my website. I'll post it if that is within the rules of the website. Let me know. If not, I can send it as a PM to anyone who requests it. BTW, those who are asking for photos of my work, my wife is wanting to see the real thing! She keeps asking when I am getting a cheap hobby.
