Does anybody have any experience of building a split cane coarse rod? Preferably in the not too distant past. I would just like some pointers and, indeed, hand holding really, regarding the process of building a set of formers. I would like to go down the road of getting some metal formers made not the single triangular strip method as advocated by **** Walker in his fine book on the subject. I've got plans so there are no problems there. I'm just a little unsure as to metal suppliers and some dimensions in the angled groove area.
