Super User S Hovanec Posted October 1, 2015 Author Super User Posted October 1, 2015 Well, the update pic will have to come tomorrow cause it appears I made a whoopsie! Got the grip finish turned and was measuring to cut the tenon for the reel seat. The grip was exactly 1/2" too short. WHAT??? only thing I can figure is that i dropped a ring while I was gluing it up. Soooo, it's back in the cork clamp with another ring. Waiting for the glue to dry. Quote
