PLEASE...remember to plane your strips about (+/-) .010" OVERSIZE!
PLEASE...Finish off your enamel side prior to sending them to me.
-------------------------
13. Plane to final/glue/sand - Shay -send your strips to me boys, I'll finish out the strips and glue 'em up, sand and send them to #14. Greg send me the bag. I will provide an ABS tube and caps to send the mess on to the next guy, simply reuse it and so will everyone else. It will be reusable for all who follow. I will pm my addy to all who signed up to plane a strip shortly.
13.1. Arrange for and supply ferrules to #14. Steve (SAltsh) Send them to #14 (Received by Kiley...thanks both of you Steve's!))
14. Mount the ferrules- Kiley
15. Cork, glue and shape grip - Kiley If anyone decides to donate any of these parts, contact Kiley and send them to him. Send the blank to #19 to be wrapped.
16. Supply guides - Ken Send them to #19 (Will has received the guides)

18. Supply reel seat and or insert. Mats Oberg C&R please. Mats...Send the C&R to Kiley so he can do his thing to it. PM Steve for his address. Steve...send the finished reel seat onto #21 when you're finished. He'll being using that to finish the rod. AGAIN...I would recommend a simple C&R seat so the guy making the grip doesn't have to try and plan on inletting a cork ring for a seat he doesn't have. Just glue and slap the seat and hardware on at the end and be done with it! (Received) Reel seat in my possession(Shay) and I will forward it to Steve with the finished blank

PS...Chris...Your picture taking skills are top notch! Please take a few pics and post them so we can all have a bit of joy in all this!
Who and what have I left out?
I will mark down who I receive strips from and who still needs to cough them up. I'll also try and keep track of transit and who has the rod in their grimy hands at any given point in time.
I think it's a good idea to simply lock this particular thread.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can or simply post to the original thread OK?
You boys who are sending stuff to others than me, please let me know when you have sent them off and if the receiver would be so kind, let me know when you get them so I can mark it received and we won't be wondering who dropped the ball?
5/17 :And don't none of you fookers think I ain't got my eye on you just 'cause I ain't posting!
