Where can you buy this?

Just found your videos. Thanks good info Question.,What is the line you use for your pull throughs?

Can i put them on from the tip section to the 4th so tip section has more bounce the rest normal Winthrop bushes rollers to make the butt section stiffer

Excellent instruction.

First I want to apologize for not watching this the sooner. That was entertaining to watch. Excellent job on the challenge

I have been watching several of your videos and I have to say thank you very much. I have learned a lot. My finish from three months ago when I started to now is night a day difference. Sure some is practice but most I feel goes to changing my process based upon what I have been watching.

Where can I purchase the Silver Creeks Resin?

Great tutorial. I appreciate all your explanations & good camera work showing the process.

Next time black sheet of paper not white.😁

Bill, my name is Joey Sams. I am interested in two things. I’ve watched some of your old videos. I’m interested in the tool that you are using to spread the epoxy and the blue track in the background that your thread holder is on.

Nice trading. I'll trade you a crisp "how ya doing" for a hat or shirt. BTW- How ya doing?

Cool challenge! Have fun on the trip!

Nice little kit. I like the flexible spatula & reusable mixing bowl Thank you Bill Cheers Steve Oz

Pretty cool idea... this is like a pocket repair kit!

All ways a good time at the Houston fishing show!

Great intell brother 🫡👍💪🎣

Glad to see you back on RUclips! I had a great time talking with you at the expo in Winston Salem NC!! It would be great to show us more on butt wrap layouts kinda like the dragon scale layout video. Keep up the great work!!

You guys doing anything in the northeast

WTG boys... Hell of a trade up! 🔥

Guessing you are just getting back from the Rod Expo. I really wanted to go this year, but couldn't swing it. Finished the Tiger Wrap and pretty happy with it for a first one. Learned a lot! The biggest challenge was thread tension - pulling three threads through a single tension rod was very imprecise. Next was the ramps at each end created from the 4 coats of high-build. The thread wanted to slip down instead of stay packed in place. For the tension issue, I am going to install two more tension rods to the back of the CRB 4 spool carriage. There is room to drill two more holes. That way each thread will have its own rod. For the slipping thread, I wrapped tape at the base of the up-hill end to prevent it from sliding backward and then sanded the down-hill end to provide grip on the epoxy for the thread. That all worked, but next time, I am going to try a coat of CP to see if that gives it traction at each end. I really like the final product. It's on a scrap blank, but positioned on the butt where I could put on a two piece grip and use this as a true "ugly stick". Also, never used high build before, but really like it, and didn't have to do any sanding between coats. Literally poured and horizontally brushed low-build for the top coat. Only needed one coat with this technique. Was concerned about moving the single top thread. It was kind of loose. Thanks for all your help! I am posting pictures on RB blog - user name Don Rogers : www.rodbuilding.org/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=22384&cat=502

I use scotch tape on both sides

Thank you Bill

Stupid crap

Bill I Put a coat of epoxy on. and need to apply the second coat it's been over a week ago what should I do to prep for the second coat Thanks

Can you use the layout trick to make an 8 axis chevron?

Have my first coat of high-build on the base layer and wondering - Let's say after the third coat, the surface feels too bumpy or uneven, would it be okay to do a light sanding before applying the fourth coat of epoxy? I often sand between coats over butt wraps due to the uneven surface until I get it level (usually after the second or third layer), and then I get a really nice level and smooth final coat. I am excited to see how this turns out. I will post whatever I get. Thanks for your help.

Can you start a series for new rod builders? Literally from step 1 through to a finished rod??

will regular hot glue accomplish the same at that foot glue you are using?

Where can we get them readily available online ?!?

You are 💯 correct mixing proper ratio is crucial

I used synthetic sheet Rock tape

Sweet!!

🙌 thank you for the info on these A-Aron! They certainly are pretty to look at I can't wait to wrap a set.

Archie McCarty’s son here , from Archie’s custom handles I’ll see you in Wisconsin in the fall at the St. Croix factory I’m glad your channel popped up on my phone. I like the spatula video You had them this last fall in Wisconsin. 👍🏻

Glad you’re back making content. I met you at mud hole in October. I enjoyed the classes you put on there. You’re alright for an Alabama fan. GO BLUE!!!!

That’s great news, I’ve learned so much from your channel and podcasts it only made me better rod builder here in Alberta, Canada Thank you so much Bill. Keep up the awesome work.

Can't wait to see what is to come. Absolutely love the podcast as well

Awesome!

Excellent instructional and motivational video. The repetition and attention to detail is very effective. I've been wanting to do this wrap for some time, and now is the time. I have a question: In Throop's Rod Maker article, he talks about the base thread and inlay threads in the section about the base wrap. I understand what you did on the video, but can you interpret Throop's instruction with these terms? Thanks!

Hey Bill, love the podcast. I'm getting back into rod building after a 22 year hiatus and I've found the podcast and your youtube vids very helpful. I have really enjoyed the nitty-gritty how-to podcast episodes including Andy Dear, Herb Ladenheim, Tom Kirkman and Rich Forhan. I've listened to several of these episodes multiple times and taken notes. I'd love to hear more in-depth tricks-of-the trade by the masters of rod-building. Would also love to hear from some PNW, Canada, or Alaskan fisherman/rod builders chasing salmon and steelhead. While I'm wishing, I'd love to see video content along with the podcast if you are every up for that production challenge! In the meantime, posting pics of podcast guests and closeups of their rods would be amazing. Thanks again!

Excellent video. I was taught using brushes to apple finish- I like the spatula idea.

Awesome news to hear. Your instructional videos are excellent. Have you done one yet on feather inlays ?

Great to hear that the channel is starting up again Bill. Thank you for your inspiration, my rod building is going great & i still use the Jon Hood thread tools you sent to me in Australia 🙏 Love the Podcasts & Looking forward to more great content Cheers Steve @ Hooked on Rods Oz

Would still love to get a replacement 8wt from you :) It was one of the best rods I’ve ever had…

Bill, I would love to see a step by step guide for setting guide spacing on a fresh water spinning rod. I’ve been told to place the stripper guide here but I’m a black and white guy and need to know why. Looking for answers on when to move it, where the line should touch when static testing, etc. Appreciate your channel and instruction.

I am glad you are back on RUclips. I have been building rods since the 70's. I learned what I could from Dale Clements books back in the day. But you have taken my rod building to new heights. Keep up the great work.

Great news! I'm sure this will help other builders step their game up.
