The annual Portland icicle finally bloomed today.

It was glueing day. Tried to take some video of the 4 string binder in action. Didn’t turn out great - so decided to play around with the video filters. Pretty cool. I guess this is what a cartoon about bamboo rod making would look like. Haha.

After a 7 month hiatus (during which time I’ve been constructing that teardrop on the right) - there are strips of bamboo being hand-planed in the shop. Feels good to be making rods again.

Not a bad way to spend a Monday.

Prett good Saturday. Made a net out of an old racquetball racket. Used it to net a fish while kayaking around a volcano - all under the watchful eye of a bald eagle.

The salmonflies are here. And they aren’t really buying into

Had originally planned on being on the water a good bit in April and May - so I cleared off almost all of my rod making work in March - but then.....
Silver lining is that I now have time to get back to work on my teardrop. Walls temporarily up now which is pretty exciting!
