My Hobbie
Most of us men don’t really think of what we can leave our children as a keepsake. Something they will use and enjoy having and maybe handing down to there children. I am not any different. I didn’t have anything either. Actually didn’t ever think about it until I got sick. That’s always an eye opener.
However a few years ago I decided to take a class on how to make a fishing rod. I made myself a trolling rod for salmon fishing on Puget Sound. I enjoyed that so much that I decided to make each of my grandkids a rod using their favorite color to wrap the guides on with. I signed the rod with a special wording that made each rod special for each of them. Well, my son liked them and kept bring it up that I made him a fly rod. It came out great and he loved. My daughter-in-law wants one and my son-in-law wants one. I just order the material to make an ultra-light fishing rod. Not sure who I will give it too.
I think I will make a movie out of making this rod. My next posting will be on making a keepsake. This should be interesting since I have never done anything like that. I don’t have a clue how to put a movie clip into one of these postings. You might keep an eye on my blog just to see how this all turns out. The only thing I am sure of is that the fishing rod will look good. It seem the more rods I make the better they get. I really should make my oldest grandson a new rod since he was the first and when you put them all together you can certainly tell it was the first one made. Maybe I’ll give him the new rod, not the parents.
