FOREWORD
IN "Rodmaking for Beginners" I tried to write in a brief and plain manner for the guidance of novices. The temptation to
branch off the narrow, straight trail, and give the fullest details in working out the various problems was very great. I have been criticised by some expert rodmakers, but to balance these criticisms I have been told by many novices that they were enabled to follow directions because of their simplicity. The scope of that book was, therefore, restricted; in this one,
however, I have endeavored to go deeper into interesting branches of rodmaking for the benefit of anglers who possess more or less skill in working with edged tools.
The army of young and other men who are fond of doing things themselves is very large, and growing. To them this book may,
I trust, prove to be helpful.
Parts of "Rodmaking for Beginners" are included in this volume. Acknowledgment is made to the publishers of Forest and Stream and Field and Stream for permission to reprint in this volume parts of articles which appeared in those publications.
