Steve; I just built my first rod. IT was a 896 sp from sage. It was all easy until
the final moment of actually applying the epoxy. I guess that was where the smoke
turned to fire. My ways are below.
I found it very easy. I always thought it would be extremely hard. The Jig I didn't
use. I just got a paperback book sat it in front of me with a milk bottle filled
about 1/4th full and the the thread through the paperback. This provided the right
tension for rapping. Start the wrap down on table. Once the thread holds I would
raise it up to eye level and was able to wrap right in front of my eyes to make sure
it was done right.
This site is great for helping you build your graphite rod. No need to buy a book.
