Awesome video pretty cool to see some of the creative options people come up with. I will look but I can probably send you the file so u can print the storm trooper helmet.

Are you making Liquorice Allsorts - or is that an English thing? Just kidding, looking forward to the continuation.😉

What a difference! Well done grasshopper

By the way Mary, the ostrich feels amazing! Even I was surprised, so much so I'm doing a split grip set for a personal build on balsa.

I so hate I couldn't stay awake during the FB live. You obviously know how big a fan I am of you and Wes and the help you've provided me but I'm also a fan of Mr. Bill Goyings. His work fascinates me as well. I use to think I was talented then I seen all you guys work and I'm like dang, I know nothing. Lol.

Thats pretty cool! What was the end result once you transferred it to a rod?

Very nice Mary!

Looks good! Ill have to try this variation. The one I did was only a single pass of the 'crossover' thread.

Your imagination is usurpassed.

Defo give that a try

If I have this correct. First you marble the sheet protector. Then you peel it off of them. Then you trim the marbling and apply to the rod as in the video. Do I have it?

You FREAKEN make it look sooooo easy .. Can't wait to see the next video !

can we get a saw blade how too

Hi Wes and Mary, I was once again bummed out that I had to watch a pre recorded episode instead of an unedited live version of you two interacting with one another. (Hilarious!!). I was doing a flag wrap for my son in laws USMC rod this week( yes, I’m still piddling with it as I get time and feel creative.) and I “cheated the close” in a different way. When I was laying it out I didn’t want the flag misshaped (elongated) at the tip end, so I just used my midwrap measurement for the whole spacing. Well, as I’m sure you know things got tight on the skinny end as I was nearing the close. No sweat, I was using Madeira black and knew it would not be seen, so I just let the black overlap some until I closed the butt end. I look forward to meeting you two in October at Mudhole. I finally got around to booking a hotel last week.

You can't be that way Wes but i did not want to build an Alabama rod either. If had been for an adult i'd probably said absolutely not. Lol.

Bill Goyings does some amazing work!

I hate i missed this live again. I was patiently waiting and fell asleep. Lol

my wife n i are interested in going to ICAST this year. can anyone attend? where is it held? we just didn’t know if there is a prerequisite to attend. your help is GREATLY APPRECIATED,,,,,CAMORON (Ron)

can anyone go to the ICAST Show? And is it in the same location

This was awesome, I've been thinking about painting reel seats and just worried about how to make it last. I'd love to know what he clear coats the reel seats with.

Thank Mary! Great info and demo

they look tasty

Can You guys do a video on how to do the sanding and polishing please

Great to see but it's 14,686 km away I had better start walking

Love it, sounds like fun. Definitely on my bucket list for next year❤

Put something in the butt lol

This is a bit confusing. I hate bring critical, especially when I wouldn't do it myself. This is titled "Part 7", I thought it was following from "as the Rod turns" and I had somehow missed part 6. In the description it says "part 1 of 7 of me reading the synopsis of my weekend with Mark Crouse". The next one, that I have just watched, describes as "part 2 of 6 of learning from Mark Crouse". I'm sure it's all going to pan out, but the numbering is all a bit baffling. It is very interesting, so I will keep watching.

Glenn Goss is the man

Allot of the acrylics are done through an intense heat process. Its more like plastic when you turn it. I love those color schemes but def factory made blanks.

I love these shorts. Your way of including us newcomers is great. I realise you are using your mobile phone to film these, but it dives me mental that they are mirror image. First time or two I watch them trying to think left is right and right is left, then I can watch again without it bothering me..... ......too much. 😉

Take 2 start again.

Abby is amazing

👍👍

Another great episode... sorry I missed this FB post! Lol

Cool 👍👍

Love this!!

Son of a monkey 🤔 I gotta remember that one 😁 I love that tip about the metallic thread, melting the end. The work throughout this video was gorgeous and inspiring

I've certainly learned a lot from you Mary in the short time ive been following your videos. I just did some trim bands like you demonstrated in one of your videos just the other day, certainly helps to remember to put all the pull throughs in before you wrap too far😂 and I've just completed another marbling on a surfcasting rod, thes are just a few skills I've learned thanks to your so valuable videos... 💯 Support you and Wess... Kiwi rod repairer...

I appreciate your tuition, videos, ideas ( wacky as some may be 😂 ) If someone doesn't teach what ever it maybe in life, how are people going to learn. Cheers Stevo

👍👍

Yes please... keep those videos coming.😊

That's a pretty neat look! I've got a Limit Creek that needs a bit of repair (epoxy cracked near hook loop from a rig hitting it in transit), and wouldn't mind some custom details to set it apart. Do you have an email or website where i could inquire?

Who carries the cork enhancer?

What a great idea! Traditionalists may scoff but someone looking for something really unique may think this is perfect.

Wow! awesome work

Love it! I been doing Butt wraps with Macrame cord. I put a coat of epoxy, 20 minute, wrap down the cord and top coat with spar varnish. Avoid the fumes off Duracryl lacquer as it coats your lungs. Also macrame cord has no core it is fully braided.

Thanks, great information

Some real talent on display, thanks everyone who shared and To Wes and Mary for showing

Another awesome episode! Thank you

could you tell me where the online tutorial is that you mentioned. thank you
