For every fisherman, the most valuable and irreplaceable thing is of course a fishing rod. A real fisherman treats a fishing rod with special trepidation and some love. A fisherman can choose a fishing rod for ages, while carefully examining every detail of the fishing rod.
An important element of any fishing rod is its hilt. If the handle is inconvenient, or not long enough, or vice versa requires shortening, then fishing will not work. After all, comfort and convenience are the main conditions in any business and fishing is no exception.
In order not to waste time and energy on choosing a suitable handle, we suggest making it do it yourself in home conditions. The main material in this will be wooden corks.
Tools that are useful in the manufacturing process of cork sticks for fishing rods, spinning:
- Paper cutting knife
- marker
- 8 mm drill and drill
- hairpin with nuts m-8 and file
Cork stick manufacturing progress:
First you need to cut the wooden cork into small circles of "washer". This is done very easily with a knife.
After that, the received “washers” need to be drilled in the very center. To do this, you need a drill and drill 8 mm.
Now you need an M-8 stud and simple nuts. All details must be assembled - put the received "washers" on the stud and fasten with nuts. The resulting “washers” can be uneven, since it is not always possible to get to the very middle, but this is not scary, all the bumps will be smoothed out.
Before you begin processing the "washers", it is recommended that you first glue them together and allow the glue to dry. After that, the item must be clamped in a drill and begin to process.
When machining a part with a drill, the drill is recommended to be firmly and firmly fixed on the table - this is for your convenience. The drill must be processed until a smooth, and most importantly even handle is obtained.
