Your comment about Bennigans Monte Christo Sandwich is 100% spot on. They were the best. You said something about "burnishing properly". What exactly is burnishing properly? You could incorporate a demonstration of it in one of your upcoming how to videos. I think it would be very beneficial to the community. Good luck with the boat my friend.
Happy to see you back and here’s a Q&A topic. Can you take us through the steps you take with a client to determine the best thread wrapping color combinations to use on a double guide foot or thread wraps? Basically, how do you determine your choice of colors from inception to actually working on a rod blank? I’ve learned a lot from your videos, thank you!
your Videos have been very helpful and entertaining - I think I started watching you on a boat you were rebuilding - I just put new thread on a 35-year-old Daiwa rod using ProKote last Sat and this is the next Sat and still tacky - Just order some Flexcoat to put on as another coat in hopes I do not have to strip the entire rod again and start over - I coated the entire rod, not just the tread before I knew it would not dry - I have at least 5 or 6 more rods to rebuild from the 80's and 90's plus my first rod bought in Key West in 1967 just before I got out of the Navy there -
Was happy to see a new video pop up this morning. Figured you have been busy with a bunch of projects. In the down time I have been going back through your videos. As a new rod builder, have only built four, I really enjoy the recipe videos. Helps me wade through all the component options. I just built a static test jig based on yours and used it last week for a spinning set up. Thanks for all the information.
One idea for a video: I have a devil of a time holding the small eyelets on the rod when I start wrapping. The small red rubber bands help but I still drop them, knock them off, they twist on me, I find myself looking for them on the floor etc. Sometimes I say bad words.
I've had problems with my Gen 2 wrapper pedal also. I'm on my 3rd one. I just put the white one on and so far so good. I'm looking forward to seeing if it's the same one that you are now using. Thanks for the info.
Have you ever done any centerpin rod builds or any tips/tricks for building long light line rated blanks? I'm just getting into rod building and my first build to break me in and learn on is going to be a rod geeks 15' centerpin blank.
Captain Lee, I know you are not horizontal usually but I see you horizontal working your butt off on your new "Little Project". You make me tired watching you because of how much work that "Little" thing takes to do. Great videos though!

Answered in a video that comes out Sunday morning.

Thanks Ralph, I just shot that video!

Thanks for watching Art. I have a boat building and fishing channel as well as this one. Trying to stay busy in my semi retirement.
I do like the Q & A format every now and then.
Noted. Thanks for watching.

You're welcome, thanks for watching.
Didn’t know you had another channel, I’ll be watching some boat videos👍
Thanks, I've got a fishing in central Florida channel as well.

Cool!

Great idea. I'll put it on the list.
Nice to see your back🔥🎣🤙
Thanks Tom!
Like the q&a, thanks!
Thanks Kevin
Thanks brother. Good luck with the boat.. and tight lines..
Right to the point.. always appreciated no BS opinion.
Thanks 👍

Discussed in Sundays video.
I just had my second gen2 wrapper pedal die. They're sending me 3rd one.
This was my first power wrapper, I'd likely go with a flex coat next time.
Great info keep the videos coming
Thanks Todd.

Sorry, but no. The longest I've done is 10' fly rods. The build should be similar, but I'm not the expert at long multi piece rods.
@@fdxcustomrods thank you. Love the videos!!! I'm learning quite a bit from them.
Do you use the standard or UV Diamond 2 epoxy?
Diamond II, always
Have you tried the gen4 epoxy yet.
I didn't know it was out. I'll definitely be looking at it.
like it
Thanks Terry!

Thanks G, that little thing is becoming a monster...😂
Glad to see you back, I know you have a lot of irons in the fire!!! Way to go Nathan!!!!
Thanks KC
Thank you very much all I can say is I’ve got a very great teacher
@@NathanDarnell Agreed! I remember the video where “Nathan’s rod shop” was a plastics tote. 🤣
