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...
