Just want to say well done to all involved in putting this product together. It was a real pleasure to receive this kit. It’s a special experience to open up the box and see all the bits and pieces. And the rod and rod tube are just super premium. The gold looks fantastic and I think perfectly suits a glass rod. Looking forward to putting this together and documenting the process.

Compliments on the kits, they are extremely well done. I love the little laser cut thread caddy that runs on the box rail, stellar detail! Love the markings on the cardboard, the instruction book is clever and well edited. It’s all quite brilliant. I can’t wait to get started!
