I've seen cork reel seat inserts made as you describe (on the blank with a grinder) on graphite rods back in the LCI-Loomis days, but we're discussing mortising wood reel seat inserts. I've never seen wood reel seat inserts mortised with a thumbnail bit after they were mounted to a rod blank.

Hi Bob,

My reel seat inserts are oval cross-section with a .030 land on eithe side of the dome of a shallow thumbnail, no siderails, and they are made... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Blue Quill) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/130402 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 23:35:38 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: My first nodeless rod...

Hi Stephen,

You can turn a reel seat insert while it is mounted on a blank so long as it is a cylindrical Garrison-style insert. Morticed reel seat inserts are normally routed prior to mounting them (I know many rod makers who use morticed reel seat inserts (as I do) and I've never known any to route a thumbnail mortice into a reel seat insert after it was attached to a blank).

the rubber wheel acts as a shock absorber as well.

I use a tailstock, a carbide center and the butt is center drilled. I usually turn and mortice reelseats on a mandrel. Scarf? Heh, heh. Jay Edwards

This was and is common practice at SCOTT as far as mortising the reel seat in cork it was always done after the grip and reel seat where glued onto the blank.
Done with a grinding wheel and a tapered sliding bed. Very easy and very efficient. Done many a small fiberglass and graphite rod that way.

That is not quite at the level of the "First "rod we saw at CRR a few years ago. The maker shall remain nameless but he stepped up and pulled a small vial of charred ashes out and said "This is what happens when you over heat treat your first rod".

Hang in there and enjoy the mistakes as well as the successes. You walked away with no blood loss and no maiming so onward through the cloud of splinters er the fog.
