Benchtop Widgets for Bamboo Rod Making
At the urging of some students of mine, I am building a short run of node presses useful in building bamboo fly rods. These are based on the Waara Node Press. Mine are machined, with my genuine mother of alcoa finish. They feature a made-in-America De Sta Co clamp, and even the fasteners are USA sourced!
Fully Machined Waara-style node press
Up next: fully machined “roughing forms”. No more chasing a light piece of wood around the bench!
