Hard to get the cuts to line up perfectly but I think I figured it out now.

Have to make the cut to remove the same width as the inlay.

Bingo. I figured that out after making the same mistake 3 times.

You can figure it out pretty easy from videos or books but if you spent a day with a rodbuilder (ducktrickster or jchief) it would really shorten the learning curve. :)

I'm lucky to have three rodbuilding vendors within 20 minutes of my home. To get started it really helps to be able to visit a vendor and see what you need vs. what you think you need.

Lance at Swampland in Houma is a great guy and would be able to get you going.

After spending time with lance and at FTU in Houston, I couldn't see myself ordering all the components online - that's too much of a guessing game before knowing exactly where the components will line up on the blank, and which blank you are using along with OD dims at those points along the blank.

A fit up on site by an experienced builder is priceless for a beginner...

Have you put any together lately?

Goooh 06-07-2014 03:05 PM
Just picked up materials for 2 more, I've only done the one to date.

Haven't hit Houma in a bit, but have been in Houston so I got everything at FTU. Got some cork split grips with darker cork trim on them, can't wait to get that one together.
