Stu---Sometimes I wonder if I post too many things of little consequence. Pretty well all of the stuff I post, I have done many times before, and I am sure that most of the senior members of this forum have also. I have never posted before building this rod, because up untill 8 years ago I didn't know how to run a computer. I just like to show some of the younger guys that you don't have to pay to have everything done professionally. It is mostly easy stuff, and once you try it yourself and see how easy it really is, you feel wonderfull about yourself. ----the other thing is, no matter how many times I have done something, I am always interested in seeing how other people do it, and I'm sure that works both ways. ----Brian
