[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 516961, member: 21536"] Awesome. How is turning cork? I assume you glue together rings then use a mandrel? I mentioned earlier I found building the few I tried to be very rewarding. That would have been 40+ years ago, so I suspect the components are superior these days. Everyone I built had a foam handle. I had no real equipment. Some finishing nails hammered into scrap wood in a "V" shape for the rod cradle. Tensioned the thread by running it through a thick book. I did manage some not so decent and some decent results but there were a lot of "do-overs". Haha. [/QUOTE]
