About Me and the Blog
Bamboo rod making is a hobby for me. I'm not an expert on anything. I just like making things and fishing. This is my on-line rod making journal. It's mostly so I can remember where I found things on the internet and document stuff I've learned so I can look it up later. It's like a journal or something...imagine that.
There's no paid advertising on this blog. The links are posted because I thought I might need them. Not because somebody sent me a cool gadget for adding their link to the page. Everyone is welcome to look around. But remember, I'm not a rod making guru. If you're making bamboo rods, comparing notes with other rod makers will serve you well. If several of us are doing something the same way, it might actually work...maybe.
