  1. That pattern is in my book Decorative WRaps. IT's SPaced Star. All it is is another box and wrapped in different directions
  2. A few of the pics from Grumpys NERBs gathering on Saturday. We had 38 people there and we had an absolute blast. Learning laughing and loving the art of custom rodbuilding and infinitely more importantly our friendships and relationships. This is what the NERBs are about. Oh and yeah we build a nice rod here and there. lol.
  3. LMAO!!! I remember I was goign to do Sea Robin charters. What's scary is those posts were from 2006 -7. THere are so many great posts in the BFF.
  4. One of my favorite maps, I drew this in 2006 and haven't used it in quite some time. REminder of the good days on SOL when B40 was
  5. 30 minutes of machinist time is like $75, and time rounded up to nearest hour = $150. + set up cost $100. lol.
  6. @spoonplugger1 - check your email please
  7. I just released a Tutorial on how to make EVA grips. It contains over 2 hours of instructional video, categorized into 40 chapters. Each video or chapter has been condensed into 2-3 minutes in length, containing articles and an interactive community for addressing any questions or concerns. Guide 1 Inspirations Guide 2 Selecting a Lathe & Accessories Guide 3 Choosing a Bandsaw and Accessories Guide 4 Various EVA Cutting Techniques Guide 5 Adhesives & Glue Up Process Guide 6 Boring, Turning, Sanding Guide 7 The NERBs lathe tricks Guide 8 No lathe or bandsaw? No problem
  8. If you are planning to do EVA, join my CHeckerboard Tutorial on FB. It's $50 but comes with 2 EVA BLocks and free shipping, so the 45 minutes of video and bunch of articles costs ends up costing $13. One article contains everything you need to know to purchase a lathe and a bandsaw which is required for that Tutorial.
  9. I stopped using the mix I think 6 years ago when PK hanged their formula. I only use TM. No need to switch to anything else especially when everything else turns amber/brown way quicker than TM
  10. If you are in NJ, GRumpys has a full line up of the stuff you need to build surf and boat rods. From Fuji Alconite up to Titanium. TOns of blanks ODM, Black Hole, Rod Forge. THey do not have their on line store set up yet, but they are in Seaside and I know if I had a place I could go pull on blanks I'd be all over that
  11. My NERBs Group sees a nonstop flow of Art on what seems like an hourly basis since I started it in 2011. In the last 2 hours these were posted. grips be me, Red Spider by someone in Minnesota and the grey spider+Diamond someone in Texas.
  12. I average 22 posts per day in my FB Group. SOL is a great place, but the lack of interest in The Art here made it a unproductive place to post it.
