The result of brushing against a drying bamboo rod.. Shaved butt and a 'bucket'.

For those, like me with poor handwriting

One more reasonable looking layout

More "can do's"

After epoxy is applied the rods are moved to the wall to clear the bench top. I can independantly turn 6 rods at this time on the wall plus two more on the bench if needed

Photo of my double rod dryer on the bench top. Can apply/turn two rods independantly to apply epoxy

Surf rod, holographic guides, metallic threads, multi-color overwraps, cork tape handle & green braid transition.

Little better look at the lathes (wood, metal) drill press, hand held drills & gouges, grinder. Storage between bench top and cabinet below holding wood blocks, hypalon & cork rings.

Left side, wall mounted dryers that are on brackets. Apply finish on the bench then move back to the wall to dry

Threads upper left, small parts in the multi-rack cabinets, guides in semi-clear boxes above the lathe, more small bits to the right. Metal ferrules, larger trolling guides and raw wood turning blocks/hypalon below on the shelves.

Couple of shots of the rod building area - Looking toward the back... lots of bits/pieces. Drying station to the left, lathes straight ahead (wood, metal) & grinder, drill press

Photo says it all!

As promised YLI thread photo

Let's see. The truck is sitting on top of about 3" of packed snow. The lump on the right is an Oldsmobile, the two steps in front of the house have "disappeared". I think I have some shovelling to do!

Still more to come most of Monday and then some more on Tuesday ....

One of the worst snowstorms to hit the Washington DC / Baltimore area.

Just had to post this one... just hanging around waiting for fishing wx.
