Title: Pittsburg Steelers Rod
Post by: Newell Nut on December 22, 2014, 04:50:35 PM
Got a request to build a Steelers rod from an old vintage solid blank rod with wooden butt section. The lady also wanted a lot of bling so she got bling.

Looks good Dwight. You got the right team from PA, if that was for the Eagles I was going to ask you to burn it and I would pay for it.

Thanks guys, this rod business has some neat challenges with every one of them being something different. Watching that bumble bee spiral spin while wrapping guides was tough on my eyes.
