    First product from the new shop

    Haven't even reassembled the tools or bolted the lathe to it's bench yet, but I needed to knock out a grip for a rod to be delivered on Saturday.

    A little EVA work for a 7'6" MH saltwater rod.

    Had some foot work done, so I am starting a Casting rod, using a St. Croix blank. But I promise, ain't nowhere even close to the fine work you do.

    What do you use for your guide spacing?

    On this rod, a mix of static testing, the 27x method and Anglers Resource KR GPS.
