Paul Rheaume

I'm Paul Rheaume, from Ottawa Ontario. I'am a federal employee(I won't say which department) and beginner rod maker. I've joined the list last winter and this would be my first post, mainly 'cause my writing sucks. I've been reading the arhives for some time ,though, and am greatfull for the wealth of knowledge that is freely shared. With all of your tips, suggestions and experience, I was able to build my forms and tools to get started.Since last winter, I've managed to complete two rods (71/2 4wt and 5wt) and have just started a Garrison 212. So far so good. I would like to express my appreciation and admiration for all the makers out there who have contibuted. I am very happy to have stumbled upon this list and the Rodmakers site and I have to say "Bamboo rocks!" Thanks again and I will make an effort to post again soon. Paul Rheaume
