If your talking or needing food recommendations I would Jacques-IMO’s restaurant it was one of the best meals I have ever had and a must. I’m not sure how to add a link to this restaurant.

This weekend picked some new toys and during the conversation the topic of Lambuths twisted rods came up and he has a book with the build dementions for his jigs. I’m in the final stages of getting my shop set up so I set aside some cane for giving this a try. I’m really curious as I have found...

My wife and I try to hit concerts a lot including the Jazzfest in NOLA. Muse has been one of my favorite shows, with UB40 and recently Common Kings. Back in the 80’s Devo,B52’s,ZZ Top and Dire Straits come to mind. And an icon that hits me the most is seeing Taj Mahal in the mid 80’s, recently...

It doesn't help when one of my coworkers that fishes the lower stillie with gear said there were three Chinook carcs at a popular spot and he said they were good size 😡

I would like some suggestions on how to set the gamefish flyfishing regulations on the Stillie and even the skykomish. I have posted what I thought would give us an opportunity to continue to fish gamefish and minimize our impacts on stressed stocks. I have communicated how I think we’re getting...

Here's a few pics from my trip.

I fished this spring with Micheal Leishman jr and had a trip booked also a few years back with Brandon Keck. They are great guys my trip with Brandon was canceled due to Covid, Micheal is an excellent guide and definitely put me on lots of fish. I fished in late April so I can’t be of much help...

I meant a bellinger planing form that I picked a couple years back. It’s the swelled butt form, I use the TMF mill for my rods and I’m using this now.

The counter top is cured set up the rod turners and thread wrapper need to get an adjustable chair. Next set up the drawer guides and finish the drawer front and we're good to go. Thanks everyone for your input and kind words.

I would second that on Jacquard I posted on the other post some samples and real happy with the product.

Not sure if this helps I switched to jacquard dyes and use citric acid combo and the colors are really nice. I used to use veniard dye and vinegar combo and my wife didn’t like the smell and mess. Here are some samples of the results

I will send some pic I also have the knives for turning the go with it also.

I have used this to turn baseball bats and it tried to use it for rod building components. It's free to pick up and it's heavy. Ok would recommend rewiring the plug in to the motor. When I moved the plastic coating cracked. Nothing wrong with the wiring or you could wrap it with electrical tap.

That’s spot on Salmo having looked into this is a management issue. I have not seen any enforcement in 30 plus years. I don’t understand how you can close a fishery for gamefish when you don’t have enforcement. I asked the state why we can shut the fishery down when we don’t enforce it. So far...

Getting close one more coat of varnish and I think the counter top will be done. Going to install a couple drawers below which are finished. And then switch gears to reorganizing my shop and it's going to be rod building time.

Remember I still have that Bellinger plane with your name on it might be for a better price now that I’m organizing my shop🤫

Hope your finger heals soon and you can get back to building your rods. My finishing room is almost done and when you get a chance you should swing by.
