Am cleaning up my hobby room at the end of the season and wanted to say thank you to everybodyon this website, but more especially everybody who follows this board. At the beginning of the season i owned a couple vintage rods as well as 2 other random glass rods. I had never worked on a rod before in my life. Come the end of the season, I now own 7 phillipsons, have bought and sold a couple others. Have restored/repaired 4 vintage grips, repaired 3 or 4 sets of ferrules, sm going to be replacing a set this winter, built a 3 wt brook rod, converted an 8 wt to a switch rod out of spare parts, including adding grip from the rear. None of this would have been possible without the advice and ideas shared on this board. Even the attaboys went a long way to give me the confidence to try some of these things and feed the creative side I forget about from time to time. Thanks all!
