Hello all
Hi all, Campbell Green here. Although I've been a member here for a while I thought id finally intro myself, along with my latest project.
Im an engineer for a sports car manufacturing company. Started fly fishing about 2 years ago.Got my custom CD rods done through Mario. Rods -one for the wife.
Being an enginer I want to make everything so hence the latest -
I got my hands on an olive wood plank, got a cnc program written from a basic CAD drawing. Ran it through a friends machine. A bit of sanding and woodoc, and now the base of my choice. Now the vice
My custom fly reel to come.
Cheers
