[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 519939, member: 21536"] Looks like you have some decent storage. First thing that jumped into my mind was are you limiting yourself by using 1" PVC pipe. Why not use 1.5" or 2" just in case you have a rod with larger guides. Will the PVC tubes go in that forward compartment with the foam? I've seen guys here use a heat gun to heat up the end of the PVC then shove it over a wine bottle or something to get a bell shape. For compartments my advice is keep it as light as possible. For example, use aluminum angle instead of 2x lumber. Use 3/8 or 1/2 ply instead of 3/4. Might be good to spend some time searching through what others have done. There are so many build threads full of ideas it is hard to know where to start. [/QUOTE]
