Custom Winding Checks....
Permalink  

I taught myself how to make custom winding checks from a Artie Heibert video....I wanted to show some that I have made....it's easy..but it takes practice..practice and more practice !!

I will add to this thread, as I build more winding checks, so the entire process can be seen....

ML, I'd say you definitely have winding checks down pat and they look real sharp, I may have to try them myself.

great work

Dang Girl, thats some killer work, not only the winding checks but the rod handles look super also.

am guessing its 5 minuet epoxy or was it the gel stuff ?

i guess i need to be nice to ya so i can find out how ya did them too.

                         I actually used regular FLexcoat Epoxy for the winding checks...the 5 minute epoxy does not give you enough time to rectify a mistake....using regular epoxy takes a little more time, but I like the results.
                         As soon as I make another winding check, I will post more photos from the start...
                         You need a nice smooth transition on your epoxy ramp so your thread will not collaspe , and believe me, it will !!
                         Winding checks can be very frustrating or very rewarding !!biggrin
