Spiel Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 Taken about an hour ago just before Chris put the epoxy winding finish on the tip section of his new rod.
fishnsled Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Wax on...Wax off...Nice work guys! Say hi to Brook for me, looks like that dog is learning some new tricks.
mercman Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 He posted that on my FB Group, and i said to myself "Wow !!!! Thats as nice as a Spiel creation !!" Then he told me you were teaching him Good on you both. Chris is obviously a fast learner
John Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Way too many Chris's on this board if you ask me........ Looks like a good one in the making guys...
Live2fish85 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks guys. I got one hell of a teacher, couldn't be better. Thanks Chris
Christopheraaron Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Can't wait to see this thing in person!
Spiel Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Posted February 5, 2013 Well Live2fish85 (Chris) came by yesterday afternoon to apply the final coat of finish to his rod and it's now done. A job well done I must say for a first ever go at it. He hasn't seen the end results yet, well he has if he's reading this. I've no doubt he's itching to get out and break it in. Here you go Chris, congratulations, it has been fun.
mercman Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 Really awesome work guys !!! How does it feel to have a protege, Spiel? Looks like he is well on his way to carrying the torch !!!
Live2fish85 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 Man oh man I am itching to get out with that. Chris I can't thank you enough, really appreciate the time you have taken to teach/guide me on my first build. Will cherish this rod for ever as it is my first and was taught by a master. I am already talking to my grandfather about building my own piece similar to the one you have Chris, for building them that is. Again, thanks Chris. I had a blast building this rod, never would it have looked half as good as it does without your help. Hanging out with you wasn't all that bad either haha. You are are blast to hang out with Chris, made building it that much more enjoyable and easy. Thanks for letting me use your shop as well. Now you will have to fish it with me on the river. That is once you get some free time from all the builds you have on your hands. Thanks all. I can honestly say that if you are looking at getting a new rod talk to Chris. The man is amazing when it comes to building rods. Don't think I will ever buy another store rod.
aplumma Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 Welcome to the club I am not even tempted by my buddies Gloomis rods any more. I think he is finding that my rods are very nice also he seems to get "confused" and picking up my rods when we are fishing in the same boat. Art
Ron Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 Very impressive. I have no doubt in my mind that Chris would be an outstanding teacher on such a fine art. Cheers, Ron...
spinnerdoc Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 Way to go Chris's, I think I was at Chris's house on the first day on Chris's build, I arrived after Chris left Chris's house I love the rod my friend, LTF85 has got some skills , and good on you Spiel for guiding him
