Hello Doc I am new to rod building. In fact I am still just practicing and I actually have never made a rod. I have been trying to watch as many videos as I can and I would like you to know that yours are my favorite. You have some of the most beautiful work I have ever seen, especially your tiger wraps. As a veteran I truly appreciate all the hard work you put into building rods that will help to go to someone and let them know that there are people who really do thank them for what they have done. I have a lot of questions but I’ll save them for later as I still have much practice left to try and get the basics down. What I was wondering though is if you have a schedule that you put out new videos. I’ve heard you mention that you are getting older( I can relate)and I truly appreciate that but you have such an awesome gift and I want to be sure I see everything you put out. Also I was wondering if maybe you could give me some names of other builders that put out videos on rod building. I actually bought a power wrapper @1990 and I just unpacked it @2 weeks ago. I have much to learn and KZitem is a great way to see all the gifted builders such as yourself. Any names you can give I will truly appreciate. Thanks again for your dedication to helping those you help us keep this great land. Lord knows they need to be told and shown that they are heroes. in today’s times it often feels that people don’t care Best wishes and God’s speed Bill

Hi Bill, thank you for the kind words. Being a 23 year veteran I just feel a huge need to recognize all the sacrifices they make. As to other videos, I dont know the other builders making videos so it would be hard to make any recommendations. Remember there is always multiple ways to do almost anything to do with rod building. Dont know where you are located but if you are ever in CA I would be glad to spend some one on one time with you. I will be relocating to WA near Batsons next year and the offer will extend when I have moved. If you ever need to give me a buz my phone #is 805 390 8724 remember I am on Pacific time. LOL

Well, another beauty. The "two tone" olive branch is a knock out. Could you do a quick video on how you spaced the red and white threads. That is really impressive. First time I have seen that

Not exactly sure what you are asking for Dolf, if you are referring to the red and white OB "leaves" I do all that by eye balling it. After so many of these it just becomes second nature and you get a rythum going.

I’m a recent subscriber, wanting to learn to weave. I made a set of 80 thread looms after your pattern, (Thanks). I will practice on simpler patterns first, but my first project will be to weave the NE Patriots logo on a 5 wt fly rod. The wrapping thread (gray) will be 100 revolutions X 48 threads high (yes, tiny). Thread colors are red, white and blue. I have 2 questions concerning layers: 1) If, for example, in a given thread row, the colors will be (from right to left in the pattern) white, blue, white, blue, white, red, white. Do I load 7 layers (4 white, 2 blue and a red) in the order they will be used? OR do I load just 3 layers (white, blue and red) and re-use them as needed? 2) When finished with a layer (not needed again in the pattern) what do you do with it? Cut it off? Leave it on the right side? Something else? Thank you for any advice you can offer. Just a suggestion, could you make a video showing the process START to FINISH weaving a small, multi color, multi layer weave? I’m thinking a design similar to an American flag hanging vertically. So you would have blue, white and red alternating in a given row. Keep the pattern small and simple with few layers so it could be completed in a relatively short time. Also, since PicToWeave is no longer available and suitable subs are $100.00 or more, could you teach us how to make a weaving pattern (schematic, I think it’s called) and a Left List without a computer and software. Old school! Thanks for considering it. -Scott

Wow, lots to answer here and I have screw it up twice so this time I will keep it short and sweet. First question is you only need to load 3 layers. One for each color. I usually load my layers so the color on top is the first I am going to need. Second question. I dont cut my threads until I am done and finished tightening and packing. On the video, I have had this request a couple time so I will work it into something in 2020 with some other issues needing attention. Pictoweave is still available and if you email me at docski377@aol.com I will give you the link. It is free now and but it will only be usable on 32 bit systems. I will also send you a tutorial on the old school method. If you want I will also give you my Ph# to help with questions.

docski377 Sounds Good. I will e-mail you. Thanks a LOT for the quick response and answers. I appreciate it. Wish I could see your work in person. You do a wonderful job. Thanks for the videos. I’ve watch different weavers but it was you that inspired me to give it a try

Doc is there any chance I could ask you a few questions about tiger wraps? Or wraps in general i couldn't seem to find much on the topic. My question is do tiger wraps cause rod blank sensitivity loss? I'm looking on having it done on an ultralight rod and im afraid that adding extra resin and decorative thread would cause it. Keep up the good work 👍 I noticed your comments are turned off on your newer vids thats why I reach out to you on this older video. Thanks a lot.

I dont build rods for sale anymore. Just build for Veterans and first responder charities. Before I retired my rods would go for 800 and up. Some of the art I put on rods can add up to 100 hours of work or more and I was pretty pricey to start with.
