We'll see, but basicly no more shipping I'll just do some pliers for family and a ruler for Vince. Nothing big, because I'm taking a break. I'm actually looking for an apprentice to teach. The color schemes available are limited. These are taken and I don't duplicate any color schemes for other customers. Once taken, that's it. Whole point was to be unique from others, can't do it with someone else having the same colors. Green/black/white-C&J Bait Company White/red-Private Orchard Hills Reservoir and Resort Green/Silver-Chastain Medical Pink/white-MrsBeachBear and niece Blue/white-House Rods and Accessories Black/blue/silver-Mine Black/red-Melchor Industrial Green/blue-FUSION I'm actually about limited out on customers, I just do the previous customer's rods and that's it. I turned down a job to be wrapper for a store, no time because this is my hobby, not profession. If I do work for someone, it'd be SY's Creations. I'm also going to devlop my customizing and learn how to do some Tiger Wraps. You'd think I'd have some thread, I have none at all. I did 10-12 rods the last few weeks, no thread at all, pure FUSION.

A customer brings me a rod they already have, like a Setyr that has a split grip. I'll fill in the split grip. Another example, my wife bought an "off the shelf" rod because it's pink. The thread was black. I FUSE/paint/marble over the threads into her custom colors and affect pattern of her choosing. I'll add in a foregrip marble as well. Basicly, someone brings a rod already built that they want customized over the threads. That's what I do. It saves a bunch of $$$ because it's not a new rod. At $7 a guide and usually 9 guides on a rod, that's $63. It's like repainting a car, the doors stay, they just change color. If I want a rod built I go to SY's Customs. He does all mine and my wife's rods, he gets me the Shikari blanks, and builds me all the spirals I want He makes some nice looking tiger wraps.
