Lucky Craft Man Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Finally got the thing together. No Steve, this isn't yours. Still not sure it's gonna come out the way I want. It might end up on the scrap pile! That is Insane!!! Is mine anything like that? Quote

Super User .ghoti. Posted June 29, 2015 Super User Posted June 29, 2015 Looking forward to seeing this. Quote
Super User Angry John Posted June 30, 2015 Super User Posted June 30, 2015 what a cool project. Along for the ride. Custom grips is something I don't see a lot of and wish there was someone close enough to teach me. Quote
Super User S Hovanec Posted June 30, 2015 Author Super User Posted June 30, 2015 Looks like it is actually gonna work. Here's a little something to chew on for the night! Rough turned the inlay. 9 Quote
Super User S Hovanec Posted July 2, 2015 Author Super User Posted July 2, 2015 Here it is....the grip from hell! 6 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted July 2, 2015 Super User Posted July 2, 2015 Here it is....the grip from hell! Very Nice ~ Reminds me of a "Tribal" type theme. A-Jay Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted July 2, 2015 Super User Posted July 2, 2015 Here it is....the grip from hell! I wonder how that would look with a gloss blue/green flip blank? 2 Quote
Super User S Hovanec Posted July 2, 2015 Author Super User Posted July 2, 2015 I wonder how that would look with a gloss blue/green flip blank? If you like that, I'll give it another shot! I think I have the technique down and I plan on making some clamping jigs. I think this pattern with green burl block and possibly light inlays would be sharp. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted July 3, 2015 Super User Posted July 3, 2015 WOW can't think of anything else to say. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted July 3, 2015 Super User Posted July 3, 2015 Very nice! I like it! Jeff Quote
Super User Angry John Posted July 5, 2015 Super User Posted July 5, 2015 I like it a lot, and I bet it would work well for a retirement gift for an air force guy. Don't know there rank well enough to know what that would be Quote
Super User S Hovanec Posted July 7, 2015 Author Super User Posted July 7, 2015 Didn't want to start a new thread for this. Border Colie themed rod. I had 2 instructions. make it hot pink and put a border collie face on it. The name has been scrubbed from the pic just in case someone is snooping. Black Alconite tangle free guides. Kigan XLA hook keep and Batson FAWC-B winding check American Tackle 16mm Aero seat with threads trimmed and the grip from hell! 3 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted July 7, 2015 Super User Posted July 7, 2015 That handle looks great on that pink blank. Quote
EvanT123 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Really sweet. I always follow your builds and have to ask. No one ever wants a tennesse grip? Quote
Super User S Hovanec Posted July 9, 2015 Author Super User Posted July 9, 2015 No one ever wants a tennesse grip? Noone but me and basserjim. I have at least 2 Tennessee grip rods slated for myself in the near future. I have the cork glued up for my new DS rod, I just have been too busy with other builds. It will be started soon as I'd really like to fish it and my new TwinPower this season! 1 Quote
BasserJim Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Really sweet. I always follow your builds and have to ask. No one ever wants a tennesse grip? I love a Tennessee grip. All my current spinning rods are TN grip except the surf rod Scott built me, I have one more in the works that won't be - it's a tube rod, and going to be killer when it's done... Other than that, I say TN all the way. 1 Quote

Super User S Hovanec Posted July 9, 2015 Author Super User Posted July 9, 2015 Jim, Are you going with a Rod Geeks blank for that Tube Rod? No, it's a forest green St Croix SCV......that has been 4 years in planning! Lol Quote
