[QUOTE="woodyard, post: 5045997, member: 2777"] When I started there was resurgence starting in the craft and more information was available on the new fangled thing called the internet, very few books. I started reading and studying and finally found one book available that gave detailed info building the rods and the things to make them with. I spent the first winter making my heat treating oven,binder, rod dipping setup, workbench and hand making the metal adjustable planing forms. Accumulating tools such as Stanley 91/2 block planes., etc. The book I had I gotten, the author said you could make the forms by hand with a file , drill etc and that if you didn’t have the patience to do that , you didn’t have it to make the rods. So I decided to see if I could do it. It took a long time to make the metal form by hand, but I got it pretty darn close to what we could have done on a mill. [/QUOTE]
