This year I took up rod building.  It marries two things I really enjoy: fishing and making shit in the garage.  I'm still very new.  I've only built two rods from scratch.  I've added thread wraps to several rods I already had. Here are some pics:

nicely done! Those look great.  I got into it for a while, but after I built all the rods I'd ever need and even gave away a few, I sorta lost interest in it. Now I fly fish almost exclusively and got into tying most of my own flies instead. 

Nice! What wrapper/dryer do you have? I replaced broken guides and re-wrapped them on 5 or 6 rods last year but haven’t even top coated with epoxy yet.

I fly fish freshwater rivers and tie my own flies for that.  Recently got a Renzetti rotary vice that I love.  I still use a casting rod in saltwater and fish about half bait, half lures.  I have a saltwater fly rig and I've tied a few saltwater flies.  I'm definitely heading the direction of doing that exclusively (if it's not blowing 20 mph).

I have the ALPS wrapper.
