No matter the medium, I could watch true craftsman work for hours on end. I find the process of how things are made generally quite fascinating.
In the latest Spinoza Rod Company video Marc Aroner records the steps on how he expertly makes the Payne-style acorn caps for his bamboo builds.
Someday, when more time allows, I would like to visit a lot of the rod builders that have been featured on T.F.M. and watch and photograph the work being done. Until then videos such as this one will suffice.

Beyond cool! :)
I agree, I love how things are built. There are alot of great craftsmen out there.
My father-in-law and his brother were metal "spinners". They took flat stock and rolled it around a wood die. It was amazing to watch and this was on a much finer scale. These are the sweet skills we have not been passing on enough thanks in large part to friend the CNC robot -not a fan. Craftsmanship.... oh how I long for it...
Erin...you're going to make the hardware on your next bamboo...right?
Jory...for sure and it's neat when they share a glimpse what they are doing.
jj wassom...true. This generation, myself included, may not be the craftsmen of past generations.
