However seen some rods seriously overdone.....

 

[Mark Nicholls]

Sorry Paul - hadn't realised you made rods. Neat piece of kit.
And Bob's lathe - wow !
All makes me feel pretty useless.
I did make some floats once

 

[Paul Whiteing]

No probs Mark . I havent made a rod for a few years now, my eyes are ok (reading glasses only) but not as good as they were so its getting harder.

And yes, last night hurt in case you were wondering

 

[Mark Nicholls]

Didn't say a word !
