Let me try!

Yup it works.

whos ready for summer?

what were we talking about?:oh:

Hey Phatdaddy, what did you make those rings out of for your rod storage? I like the concept, much better than the holes I drilled in boards to do the same thing.


And Lumber, seeing that picture, do I really have to wait till summer? :drool:

Destroyer, I made some rings similar to those using PVC, I just cut slices. I drilled thru both sides then came back and made the hole on one side big enough for the screwdriver bit to fit thru, it made it a lot easier to install. I made my rings a little wider than those and cut a section out of the side so it was easier to hang the rods in.

d, 3" pvc cut on a chop saw, then mounted to a strip of 2x4 and the strip mounted to the roof truss. if i had it to do over, i would have used 4" for the larger eyes on the surf spinning rods.

spare, can you post pics?

Phat and Spare...Thank you both. You've given me some great ideas. I never thought about using my chop saw to cut the rings, and drilling thru both sides to mount them is also a great idea. When I made my rod holders out of wood, I used 2 different size hole saws... one for the butt of the rod and one for the tip, and I alternated the holes so that it was big, small, big, small, etc. like OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO and the same on the other board. That way it takes up a lot less space and yet you can mount more rods cause the rod tip hole acts like a spacer between the reels on the butt side. I think I'll use 1 1/2" for the small and 3" for the large and do the same alternating on this build. Will post pics when done. Thanks gentlemen. :beer:.

if you cut the rings thin enough, you don't need to drill 2 holes.
