ROD BUILDING TIPS
Save Handle Time

By Ken Olsen, (Olsen's Custom Rods)

I found a way to make things a little easier. What I did was get some rat tail files from a local hardware store. I cut the back ends off so I can chuck it in a drill, put it in reverse and go to it. This cut my handle time by about 80%. Try it you'll like it. ~ Chuck Olsen
