Doc Ski, Bill from Falconer Custom Rods told me I should subscribe and watch your rob building. I told Bill that I’m a retired Corpsman and he said “you are the industry standard”. Thank you for the training.

Happy Birthday. The Hospital Corps continues to save lives and break hearts.

Nice job. Presented well...

Super cool! One more technic for me.Good explaned!

Very thorough and detailed overview

I really appreciate your videos!!

Great video. I been searching all over KZfaq for trim band videos that are easy to understand and yours by far is the best and cleanest finish out of all the ones I have watched. Even the most simple, as long as clearly explained is so very important in this hobby and I thank you much for teaching me. My girlfriend appreciates it also as she is building rods with me. You made my rod building experience so much more easier for me to understand.

Great job jim........I don't think I'll ever build a rod, but watching you wrap this one was very enlightening. Very time consuming but well worth it in the end when you see the finnished progress. Once again great job and you are now officially a TEACHER.

doc ski taking the time out to make videos like this and drop some knowledge upon us is one of the greatest things you can do for future rod builders, as a rod builder, info like this is worth its weight in gold.... thank you

Very nice . Thanks

Well explained Doc now its for me to try it!?

Nice tutorial.

You're the man Doc!!! I've wrapped my blanks with diamonds, chevrons, & both but still really like intricate inlays. Looks like my old "Chocolate Sabre" will get some JTOB! Thanks for sharing!!!

Your are welcome Jay. Thank you for the wonderful kind things you have done for so many in our craft, your reel seats are awesome

Thanks for the tutorial Doc.

Very cool, nice work!

awesome video! I just started building my own rods about a year ago and your videos have helped me out beyond belief! I don't think I would've been brave enough to try one on my own without your instructions. thanks doc

Thanks Doc! You did a great job explaining it..... very easy to understand...even for a rookie.

Doc, Thanks for teaching the thread design. Keep up the great work.

This is great! My son and I will be working on a number of rods this winter. I'm going to try this on one, or several of them. I'll also see if some of the veterans I'll be volunteering help build their rods are interested in doing this.

Excellent teaching video, thank you, just started wrapping and basically through your videos, your my teacher

That looks great.

Thanks for this video; I'm definitely going to learn this technique for my next project.

Awesome Doc! Thank you!

Great video . I'm new to rod building and just wrapped my first rod . I kept it simple but wil try this on next on . Thanks

Doc your a fishing rod BADASS🥳 I love your technique and vids 🤓

Thank you for the knowledge!

Hey Jim, thanks for the info. I've been wanting to know why I couldn't do this with a twist thread and now I know. I've wanted to know how to do this for a long time. Thanks again.

Awesome work. Thanks.

Very nice work!

Damn ... You, sir have skills! ...Thanks for sharing

Looks good to me Doc. Thanks for taking the time to post this.

Doc - You are the man - thanks for sharing. Great videos. Bill Falconer Falconer Custom Rods

Thanks for sharing Doc.

VERY NICE AND VERY EASY UNDERSTANDING VID..Thank you for taking the time to help us new want to be rappers...

Looks great.

thanks for paying it forward.

Wow it’s awesome I’m doing that on my next rod, no there was nothing better to explain it that was perfect 👍

Good video. Great explanation so even a beginning rod builder can understand it.

Great Job Doc!

Thanks alot

you make it look too easy! thank you Doc!

Great video. Thank you for sharing this. I am a hack rod builder and looking to improve my finishings. Love this idea and may try it in an upcoming rod build for a friend as a retirement gift.

This is how i do this and trim bands too. The only thing i don't like so much is how it creates that straight line diagonal from all the thread switching. Most of the time it's not so obvious, but depending on the colors used, that line sometimes becomes visible along with all the thread trapped underneath. really like your attitude and outlook on passing along info and that sort of thing. At the end of the day, there are very few original ideas out there but there are too many people who hold info like it's a big personal secret. It's like that with fishing locations in real life and in online forums too. I can't stand people who talk about fishing spots like big secrets and black out backgrounds in photos as though they're the first and only person to ever fish there.

Thanks that was excellent. Doing a couple of builds now, which are my 2nd and 3rd builds. Will be doing this on both.

Thanks Doc, that's a good tutorial, between you and JT I may learn to wrap sticks yet. I'm in Missouri now and wrapping freshwater stuff Jan From Humboldt

thank you for taking the time to do this great video

Awesome thanks for the advice

Bravissimo!

Thank you

Thank you for this video. I just discovered Jim Trelikes' dragon scale and just followed his Instagram and was wondering how he did the olive branches. This will go into one of my rods I'm about to build.

That's amazing

what size and what kind of thread are you using?

thanks for the videos doc. as a budding builder its hard to find good resources and even harder to find good mentors.

Nice work...I like your take on it. I will be posting a similar video but not sure I will be as clear as yours.

Wow neat to know this is international. Thank you for your comments.

thanks so much for yer knowledge im trying to re do a rod my friend left me after he pass away

Nice video

What is the best method for trimming the end of the inlay threads at the beginning of the wrap so that no contrasting colored fuzz or thread fibers are visible?

very nice

hi pal i like this olive branch do have a dvd on it at all that i can buy at all

Nice work from a nice guy.

Good jobs

Hello Jim, Please let me know what you did with the beginning tag ends. Do I cut them off as close as I can? You do not show how to deal with the beginning tag ends. Thanks for your help.

my buddy used to do this back in the 70's when he was out of astro thread.

Tanks

Can this work into a herringbone design
