Zai's marbling technique will be detailed in an upcoming issue of RodMaker.

Beautiful work, I'm going out on a limb here. Do you find that one brand of finish works better than another with the marbling?

Hi dave

I will reveal the pros and cons of marbling in the article that Tom had given me the opportunity ...

You will be in for a real treat and shocked that my techniques is the fastest yet able to achieve the third dimension effect...

Nice work ... waiting for the article to apear

Yes, very nice work! I also look forward to seeing the details in the magazine.

well thanks guys

You gotta to try it on your own ...it will be an experience you never forget once you master the marbling techniques...and its really dead easy...

I wonder if I could find an investors to make cds and books for sale on this new marbling techniques.......

im sure many of you will want to see me in tv how I do it on actual rod and blanks...a cd that is upclose on how I do it...and books accompany it

Ps: Btw Tom I was wondering if there any rod building certification that can get me certified as a qualified rod builder ...really appreciate some certificate on the walls...maybe certificate from rodbuilding.org that's what I could think of now....a rod building certificate is almost obsolete from where I am though I been building rod for some 10 years now...but I haven't seen any on my walls ...I would really hope rodbuilding.org could grant me this wish-- that's keeps me going on researching and discover new methods of giving customs rods a new facelift...and I have more than just marbling to show though ....and thanks once again

Regards

Most builders come on here and give THERE ideas And never ask for a thing

I wonder how many builders have a Certifacate on there wall just because they - e mailed a newbe and helped him get though the learning process of how to do Say Ends on a thread wrap Or any thing on rod building

You do nice work -- But also a lot of builders here Take a way of doing some thing Play with it and make it better

You got your PROPS Builders said the work was very nice - And it is

One thing to think about - Tom K has done Soo much for rod building This site Where people learn -- THE SHOW which is only growing Every Year

Bill - willierods.com

I'm not aware of anything that would certify you as a custom rod builder. If anything like that is out there, it wouldn't really do you any good unless your customers were aware of it and who was behind the certification standards.

By and large, your work proves your certification. Your customers are the judge.

Of course, anything you do that is published becomes a bit of an advertisement for you. Marco Antonio down in Brazil has a few copies of RodMaker on his wall with his rods on the cover and within. So does Nuno Paulino.That probably says more to their customers than any certification does.

Now what you may find insofar as books and CDs, is that there are a few component suppliers that might have some interest, but the craft is relatively small and most such efforts, outside of a few of the well known books, never sell very well. But I don't mean to deter you if that is your goal.

............

Thks guys

I really appreciate them ..convinced me that im doing the right thing for the masses ..indeed you are right Tom on your insight ...touched me deep down....and thanks bill, all these process is about sharing and learning and to execute differently. I learned much from your wise words for that thank you.

Afterall, rodbuilding is about passion in one life which none could understand unless you are one yourself...I guess that already certified me more than what I could ask for...


Thank you so much for the inputs guys...

Ps : Tom, im not going to that goal...I rather be seeing my technique utilised by people we share here and beyond, raher then be mass marketing on it... it may let me earn a few cent on books etc but I not seeing that worthy then sharing ....

Publication will be good for me , the least I would have memories to keep with me when im at 70 lol ( I have a lot of techniques to be share so do expect lots of articles from me)...Hope you guys are not displeasure with my wishful thinking or rather pressure coming from the people behind me etc ...but you guys have shown the real side of me eventually.. and for that thank I really cannot express more than the word thanks.

Lets do it tom ...let me have these memories to live with...already been working on the article....it will be soon ready to you....I am also working on future articles that you might used for publishing.

And I apologise if I did hurt or outrage some of our readers here with those ideas.......

I will keep a point to update new techniques here ...hope you guys would treat me like your own buddy in this forum...and thanks again...

I would really love to meet some of you in the future ,hopefully im able to do that...

Im sorry once again..

Regards
Zai Kwan

You didn't hurt nor outrage anyone in the least. Builders here always enjoying see new techniques or improvements on older ones.

.....................

Good to hear that Tom those words are encouraging
I have always a lot of ideas that popped up ...so builders here are in for a good treat...no worries Tom I can assure you that

Really some nice work Zai Kwan. I am looking forward to the article.

Thks Jim
