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.  .
