Advanced Rod Building Techniques Seminar
If you are looking to take your rod building to the next level, this is a great opportunity to learn from the best in the business. The presenters share their years of knowledge, failures, and success to make you a better builder. The facility, staff, and even the fellow attendies are as good as they come. I look forward to this every year!!!
Been building more than 45 years and I am still learning!! This group are in one word, “artists” what a weekend! I would definitively go to the next one! Always something new to learn!!
I had a great time learned a lot of new things looking forwards to practicing some thread art wraps reminded of some things I had learned but not used in a while, left with my battery recharged and ready to start some new techniques and polish some of my old with a new mindset seeing it done just a little another way. Thanks, Ronnie
