Not a jig but always wanted to do this - 10/06/16 04:31 AM
Didn't know where else to put this and thought y'all might like it.
My cousin asked if I wanted to help with an RMO rod building class. I said heck yeah. He forgot to tell me the first class so I didn't make it and played catch up and mainly helped the kids the second class. I had watched enough YouTube videos to know what I was doing. The instructor showed us how to find spine, put handles on, space guides, ect. But they we only using one color thread and no decorative touches. I didn't get much done because I was helping the kids so I took mine home and had my way with it lol. We will finish them Sunday afternoon. Man, I really enjoyed this and I think I have a knack for it. Now I want to get a real set up instead of the cardboard learning kit. May even expand SJC into custom rods after some practice and test runs. I'll post finished pics after we get done.
