This is my first build. I used only what came in the box. Nothing special or original here. I really appreciate the help on basic questions and the resources found on this forum. I really enjoyed the building process. It took some time due to my schedule. I love the final result. It’s not perfect. There are flaws but that’s what makes it mine. Time to figure out what to build next.

That's impressive for a first build or even a fourth or fifth. Nice work. The trim bands are especially well done.

Some folks are a natural at certain things. Looks like you were born to wrap rods!

That's really good work, especially considering it's your 1st. Have fun getting ready to build more rods in the future.

Thank you all. I was surprised how easy it was to build. The epic ready to wrap kits are great. They really make it easy to follow step by step. I spent time practicing and rewrapping especially the trim bands, those were tricky. I imagine it’s easier when not doing clear wraps since you don’t have to hide tag ends.
