'surface ageinst one side of the 60 groove (Fig. 1).
2. T&e ten (10) strokes with the plane parallel to the top of
the guide blo:k. Always plane 3 to 4 stations at a time with each
plane stroke.
3. Rotate the spline in guide block with'the enameled surface -
against the other side of the groove. . Then take ten (10) strokes with
the plene perallel to the top of the guide biock. (Fig. 2) The spline
will then have the shape shown in Fig. 3.
4. Repeat steps 2 &'3 until the'spline is in the shape of an
e;uelateral triangle.
j. IIike'each station andeobtain the difference between the.reading
and the actuel dimension. For example if you mike ;2j8 on one face at
station .Zo&, then with a pencil mark 59 on that face. Gn the other._
side at station .20@ if you mike .26O, then mark 52. These dimensions
ere thousandths of an inch over the finished dimension.

The dimensional difference tit stetion 208 is .006, at 201 it's .bO8
and at station 195 it's .COV. There will alcays be some dimensional
difference when planing splines. Even after becoming proficient at
planing,you will al-bveys be correctirq for dimensional difference. The
tine to start correctin& dil::ensionel difference is immediately, when
your.60, 59, or 40 thousendths over diihension, not when you are 10 over.
To correct for dimensional difference follow the steps outlined below:
1. Mice all the stations and mark the number of thousendths over
dimension on the ftice of the spline (?ig. 1).
2. Take the srline and piace the smallest dimension UP (40, 42 6; 46)
pnd note which side the ener:leled surfsce is on (LG'T in fig. 1). Eow
place the .spline in the guide block with the tmzllest dimension UP (Fid 2).

3in. and 18 in. up from the large end of the butt and
tip sections.
3. Cut the tape carefully,along one spline with a sharp knife
and lay splines out flat on a board.

ROD ASSEMBLY
(Short Butt d Tip Section)
The short butt section is for use with the tip section of the 9 foot
rod. The assembled short butt and tip section make a 7 foot 9 inch
dry fly rod.

7. Now start filing the other half of bamboo to the first pencil
mark, and count as you file each corner. File down this half to
the same diameter as the first half.
8
. F/hen both halves are the same diameter, file both halves simult-
aniously in one smooth stroke. Count each corner. Continue until
ferrule will slide to within $I1 of first pencil mark.
9. File a taper from first pencil mark to within l/8" of second
pencil mark, without sharp knicks or steps.
10. Apply one coat of EPoW. adhesive to the filed section of bamboo
and to the inside of ferrule. Do not use the 5 minute epoxy because
it is not water resistant.
11. Slide ferrule onto bamboo as far as possible by hand.
. 12. Heat ferrule with an alcohol lamp.
13. Once ferrule is hot to the touch, press the ferrule on up to
the second pencil mark and hold until ferrule starts to cool.
14. Installation of ferrule on tip section is the same as on the
butt section except that when the first half of bamboo is filed
the ferrule will start to slide all the way on; so none or very
little bamboo removal will be required on the second half. Be
careful not to take too heavy a stroke with file on tip section.
15. Proceed with steps 10 through 13.

1. 14 cork rings (3/g', I.D. x lktv O.D. x 3') long) are re@red to
make the handle.
2. Double wrap string around the O.D. of cork ring and tie off.
3. .File I.D. of cork ring with a rat tail file slightly smaller
than O.D. of' reel seat hood. File a small notch in I.D. of cork
for the hood reel socket.
4. Coat I.D. of cork ring with Epoxy adhesive.
6. Slide first cork ring (with string attached) over butt section
and press onto hood l/l611 beyond end of hood.
7. Allow the first cork to set on reel seat one day before install-
ing remaining corks.
8. The remaining 13 cork rings are installed onto the butt section
with Weldwood Resin glue.
9. PresSthe cork rings onto the bamboo section (do not file I.D.
of cork rings) and apply a light coat of glue to the faying
surfaces.
10. Press each cork ring firmly against the previously installed
cork ring. Glue will extrude from the faying surfaces.
11. When. all cork rings are installed, wipe excess glue from cork
handle and allow to dry for one day.
12. Turn handle with a drill motor or lathe. Using sand paper,
shape the handle to the approximate size shown on page 36.
Modify to suit your own hand grip.
13. Do not apply an9 finish or protective coating to the cork handle.

SYNCRONIZING THE FLY ROD
Syncronizing the fly rod is a procedure we use to determine
which hexagonal flat is used for placement of the guides and reel
seat hood.
This is very important because during the casting stroke the
fly rod must flex within a flat plane, or a straight line and not
bend in a curved arc. The faster the rod is moved and the harder
it is stopped, the more the tip bends over the resistance of the
butt, a movement that imparts tremendous force and speed to the
fly line. This extra flip at the end of each casting motion is
the method used by expert casters to form a fast narrow line
loop. Therefore, to benefit from this rod tip flip, the rod tip
should flex within a flat plane to maintain control of the fly
line.
Due to planning, glueing and even the mass of the bamboo itself,
one side of a rod will be stiffer than the other sides which effects
the natural vibrating period of the rod section. The natural period
being where the rod tip travels in a straight line up and down when
it is vibrated. To find this flat proceed as followsr
1. Place the butt end of the rod section on a table with the
tip end extending beyond the table.
2. Bend the tip end of rod down with thumb and index finger (fig 1).
Release, and watch the tip end vibrate in an up and down
direction.
3. If the tip travels in an elliptical arc (Fig.2) or at an angle
off the horizontal while it is vibrating, rotate the rod to
the next flat and repeat the procedure.
4. Vibrate the rod on each of the six flat s-ides until you find
the side where the tip end will travel in a straight up and
down motion (Fig. 3). One side will generally produce a
straight up and down vibrating motion.,
5. Once having located this flat, mark its surface with a pencil.
This is the side which-is aGainst the table and the one where
you will place the guides.

Preparation:
Xix,equal parts, by volume, of amyl acetate (banana oil) and
fl~~~b-fe collodion. 1 oz. to 1 OZ. Obtain from local pharmacist.
Application:
After completing rod wrapping apply color preservative to silk
thread with a clean brush. After each application, allow the
thread to dry and return to its natural color before the next
coat is applied. A total of three coats should be ap lied. The
solvent used for brush cleaning is lacquer thinner. R ake sure
that all coats are flow coats.

VjRNISH APPLICATION
LIaterial:
Ultra-Marine Spar Varnish
Obtained from Katson Paint Products Inc., Seattle, Kash.
Application:
'I
I* Apply one coat of varnish to the rod wrapings with a l/8" to
1/4l' hair paint brush.
2. Allow varnish to dry 24.hours and then apply a second coat
on-the rod wrapings only.
3. Allow varnish to dry 24 hours and then apply a third coat
on the rod wrapings only.
4. To varnish the entire rod and obtain a mirror finish re-
quires the use of a lint free room. This room
is the bathroom. It is best to varnish the rod at night
when everyone has gone to bed. This will help keep the bath-
room as lint free as possible, by not having the door
opened too many times.
5. Turn the hot water on in the shower or tub for a few minutes
to get the room full of steam. This procedure will settle
all lint and dust particles in the room.
6. V&en applying varnish to the entire rod it must be done
with the fingers, not a brush.
7. Remove cap of varnish bottle and put index finger over the
opening and invert the bottle to get varnish on finger. D O
not put the bottle down, but hold in the palm of hand in
an upright position. This saves time by not having to pick
bottle up and setting down.
8. Apply varnish to sections of the rod (between guides) going
over each face of the hexagon.
9. Do not apply varnish too thin and not so thick that it runs.
As you run your,finger over the hex faces, it should glide
smoothly and not drag.
10; LIake sure that varnish gets under each guide and apply
varnish to the blued surfaces of ferrules.
11. ';/hen one rod section is complete, stand it in the corner
of'bathroom.
12. Apply varnish to next rod section and when complete stand
it in corner.
