Lovely video I need to change the guides on my very old rod which has got guides with ceramic inserts So help me which ones to choose single foot or double foot and yes I have heard double foot guides makes rod bit stiffer in action
Please run that by me again with a little more explanation on putting the pieces in the microwave if you would please. By the way enjoyed all of your videos on building the reel looks very nice.
hahaha. love the videos. made a couple fly reels in my millwright/machinist pre-apprenticeship program that i did a couple years back. had a blast doing it. can't wait to have a lathe again to play with one day. where are you located?
Seems like mighty thick wire to me. Pretty damn nifty work, good on ya.
Very smart and simple, great job! thanks for sharing
Fishing and machining! I love it!

super cool, I'm going to fabricate a tool set now. thanks!
Was the microwave on high or medium?
Good job

charles bradshaw haha it was a terrible dad joke. it doesn't do anything
JH reels okay I see said the blind man to the deaf girl who could not see
Hear
Hammer them to flatten?
I tried that, was having issues with the material cracking when getting cold worked too hard. Something with the spring temper making it difficult.
The wire is small enough that you should be able to anneal the ends with a pencil torch, without affecting the rings.
I'll experiment with this and see what happens. Ill make some updated ones if it does.
Do you know Chris Raine?
Afraid I do not
you also lied that 1/6th of an inch is .060" where in reality its .062". haha great video!
Warren M yes you caught me, turns out my plastic ruler went out of calibration recently. Thanks though!
