Guide Spacing Workbook Download

I've attached my guide spacing workbook for download. This workbook is also available for download at Todd's Tips site. The spacing is based on an algorithm posted on the Rodmakers List several years ago. It appears, based on list archives, that it was developed by Jeffrey Baehre of Depew NY. Appropriate acknowledgments are included in the workbook. This spacing table is baked into FlexRod.

The spacing is calculated proportionally from the stripping guide to the first ferrule below the tip top. I've added a proportional adjustment (fudge factor) to place a guide that falls close to a ferrule just below that ferrule. The adjustment factor moves all the guides, not just the one at the ferrule. I've already made the necessary adjustments to the rod lengths included in the table.

Also included at the bottom right of the table is a guide size chart. That's my interpretation of several sources. Guide size seems to be somewhat subjective. The table is there, for what it's worth.
