Back at it

        After a little summer break (and a rod I made for Myself),  time to get at it again. I have two single tip rods #421509 and #421510 that are rough tapered to .050 over final dimensions. After the strips are made into rough triangles they are then heat treated at 375 degrees. The next step is running them through my beveler to get a taper on the strips that is about .050 over final dimensions.

Tomorrow the steel planing forms will be set and the last .050 will be removed by hand planing.

Rough tapered strips at .050 over final dimensions
These two rods will be based on the tapers of a Dickerson 7012 and Payne 98. Both rods will have a 12/64th step-down ferrule.
