One of my favorites had guides frames that broke . Ca held for awhile but when the second onebroke ,it`s time . Heat gun and scrape the guides and under wrap off . Clean the blank and set up the new guide train . I went with a bigger stripper to start with and did my static tests with 2 1/2 pounds hanging .
The blue tape is for the under wrap locations , after wrapping all the under wraps and prepping the feet of guides ,I start tying .. Break time just a few more to go..
Looks like great progress Joe! Took me about 2 weeks to tie a new guide train on a rod, but it was my first time. Hope to see yours sooner than that.

It took me time when I first started , It`s supposed to be enjoyable ...
The last few guides are tied on , Straighten the train and laid on some finish . Now to rollaround for a few hours
I like your patio ;D ;D
nice work on the rod
