The September 1999 Mid-Atlantic
Rodmakers Gathering
Boiling Springs, PA.
Click on the
images for the big picture. Please email me to give me data on who's
who in the pictures... I just found this undeveloped roll of film and
with the major loss of brain cells from my misguided youth, I just can't
remember everyone (or I didn't meet everyone). I've got lot's of room
for more pics if anyone wishes to add some more from this gathering!
 |
1) The Gathering
John Z, Eileen & Harold Demarest, Chris Bogart, Tom Whittle, Jerry
Girard, Marty DeSapio, Ron Barsh, David & Lucy Fitch, Joe Byrd,
Art Port, me....
|
 |
2) Al Medved Beveller (someone please correct my spelling!)
Al crafted some beautiful rods with rattan grips... can't find
that roll of film either... drats! |
 |
3) Harold Demarest and me (Darrell Lee) |
 |
4) Medved beveller in foreground. Anyone remember who made the
beveller in the background? |
 |
5) More rod makers
Bill Harms at L I think Joe Byrd at R
|
 |
6) Another demo of more toys. Help me name these guys!
Dennis Haftel at left. Jerry Girard right of middle
|
 |
7) Hey, we even got to cast a few rods and do a little fishing
nearby! |
 |
8) Tom Smithwick, one of the most ingenious rod makers...
demo-ing
the construction of the "Poor Man's Quad"
Also Chili Chef Extraordinaire!
|
 |
9) Lawn casting. |
 |
10) PMQ, a two strip, four sided rod that doesn't require a
planing form, no binder and the minimum of equipment... Note the
ferrule is just left of the glue jig... I'm talking about the
roll of black electrical tape... |
 |
11) John Zimny, Chris Bogart & Bill Fink among others...
from R to L |
 |
12) PMQ, No binder... just LOTS of small clamps, Elmers glue,
electrical tape... hence the name... |
 |
13) The Rod Makers Rod. The components were made by twelve
different rod makers and was quite a sight to behold.
I believe this was a Vince Marinaro taper.
|
 |
14) Art Port demo-ing the "Scary Sharp" plane sharpening
method
Art, the pic was BIG... so big I was able to read your name
tag to confirm your identity!
Thanks BIG GUY!

15) The finished PMQ. Tom actually used a ferrule but it was a
cheap plated one in keeping with the spirit on economy. |
