John this is a great video. Even though I just completed my 5th build over a year or so. I still come back to your videos. Keel up the quality explanations and good work!!

Great job explaining this wrap brother.

Thanks John! Nice technique for a clean set of inlays

I enjoyed the video, looking forward to the next one.

Clean work

looking forward to the next video.

You are an awesome instructor!!! Your technique is clearly shown, great camera angles, and your verbal instructions are straight forward. I have watched and “liked” many of your videos. Thank you for your efforts. You are making me a better rod builder!!!

simple and easy way of wrapping. I've done it

Thank you for this video. It cleared up some of my confusion for trying a fade wrap

Hands down the best demonstration. Going to try that with the fade wraps. Thanks for the great video.

Nice tutorial John. Thank you! Happy New Year!

Great video John I tried that and it came out 👍

nice, nice easy to follow video, will give this technique a try, thanks

I like to do it without leaving the tag end out on the left.

I assume the prosses would be the same if you wanted to do a progression of say going from 1,2,3,4, etc. of the blue at the same time as a regression of the black. so you would eventually change over to a blue primary with the black in regression. I hope I made my self-clear.

Thats a cool little burnishing tool, is it made of bone?

Another great video! I save these to my hard drive then I can slow them down if needed to see the detail better. I just got the small CRB CORE rod wrapper and it seems I've been using it backwards with the spool up front. Was annoying me that I couldn't see the tension rod as I wound the thread but now I now why. Do you deliberately have you tension high enough that you have to release the tension by turning the spool every so often and should I be aiming for a tighter wrap? I did a nice sawblade wrap on a practise piece of junk rod late last night only to have the pull through at the end fail and it unwound all over the place. Oh well, tonight I'm going to try a fade wrap with a sawblade wrap just above that to possibly put on my new rod starting from the silver winding check to a hook keeper then maybe a half sawblade on the other side of the keeper for a finish. Just waiting for my 14 spool order of threads to arrive by Friday I hope.

I have a quick question. Can you marble a section of a rod that has thread finish already on it? Thread finish is already cured.

Good day John, I am working on a new insure rod for myself! I am trying to recreate your picture used in your thumbnail. i see your pattern started 10 black, 1 metallic blue etc. What was your scheme/number patter to make longer, please. Thank you for your time!
