Well peeps said I was going to post pics of the stages of my next pattern bind.
Using the big 12 Megagoggle camera this time cause last time pics were out of focus & not worth posting.
Anyways thought I'd do an old favourite of mine
The Eagles
And no poy they dont want a rug these aren't Bald Eagles
Anyways just getting started so not much to show yet moreso testing out the camera.
Now this will be a closed pattern so there's no need for an underbind you's will get what I'm on about as you see it progress
Starting Off
wow look at that ,,your a clever dick jumpy ,,hahaahah
Looking forward to see how you do this one
OK net pic doubt wheather you's will see a pattern yet
Just to give you guys an idea of how it's hopefully going to turn out here's a couple I did many moons ago
Looking good
Yu Hu's !
Can anybloody see the Chick yet or Yu's still trying to crack the Eggshell
Well Well Well !

Yu Hu's !
hmmmmm hows your back, with it playing up we will get to see the finished rod
No chooks yet.
I thought your eyes were crook. Are you wrapping at night?
Not sure
Has the sun gone down yet
Has the sun gone down yet?
Just had a look for you.
YES and there is no moon.
That hydroponics set up you have must put out some light.
At this rate you should have it finished tonight.
Well guys the pics aren't getting any better now
Main reason being the metalic silver & gold thread & being night time because the sun has gone down I need the flash.
So hope you's have got some idea of what I've done next pic will be after the resin has been applied & in daylight whilst the sun is still up & It'l Do isn't showing us his Full Moon
Yes I can see them comin' but still think it's magic.
At least I know you did them now I see the smokes and V caps. Could only be you, Jumpy.
OK peeps 1st coat had dried enough for me to take it outside & get a pic B4 Elton John started singing Dont Let The Sun Go Down on Jumpus
Anyways not real happy with it, been a decade or so since I did one of these eagles & would've liked the birds smaller as the blank does not have a big diameter saw this 3/4 of the way through but thought stuff it.
Just started another one see if I can get this one the way I want it.
By the way allthough more time consuming these sorts of patterns turn out nicer/neater if done in A Grade cotton this one was done in D Grade
I like. I will bring my nigger rod, beach rod and other beach rod over for some eagles and seagulls in the binding.
ok mate i give up and will leave it to those that have the knowledge, u may not be happy with it, but i know i would be pleased to have it in my rod rack :o :o :o
I sort of get this from what I have read from a book on fishing. It does take some time to do a warp for someone that does not do many or any. I have yet to build a rod fron the beginning. I have repaired them and that was easy to do.
kk I've seen your nigger rod & let me tell you it belongs in a museum
Ive seen it and it looks awesome! No Idea how ya would do it though.. I think experimentation would be required with some time and paitance, something I have very little of!!
Did a matching 6 kg rod with same eagg heads only smaller in size.
Prob a bit hard to see from the pics but the smaller sized birds look much better.
I'm not up around your age group yet & when I am you's will be a decade or so ahead of me still
they reckon antiques are worth more ,,,haahhhaahha
