I love all of the storage in the desk but with my methods of filing, it would still be obscured by junk .
Hey, Dave Norton is the person that needs to comment on this. He builds custom fishing rods (beautiful too, I might add). Although in his neck of the woods, I think the prey is probably more like bass than trout.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Thats where I need some more work, taking pictures of objects and inserting them into the layout. No clue how to do that.
Dave,
do you build split bamboo rods? I am just starting to get into that and tryin to collect all the tools, forms and binders to do that. If not bamboo, what kind of blanks are you using, and do you have a good supplier for cork rings?
This is starting to look like a rod builing forum that I frequent

Basically Duane, you place the image on a display cube and save it as an assembly. You can add the assembly to your presentation in the custom layout editor when you detail the room.
The images will need some editing to make the background match but it's an idea.
Make sure you \"stretch\" and not \"tile\" the image on the display cube.

No problem. Just download the files and save them anywhere you like. When you create the display cube, click on the \"Select Image\" button and you can browse for your files (remember where you saved them!). Once you select the image you want, save the cube with the image. I save mine in the \"User-defined\" folder but you can create a new folder if you would like.
Before you add the image to a display cube though, you will need to edit it to make the background match your desk. Do that in your favorite image editor (I use Paint Shop Pro but you can use anything you like).
To create a display cube for the reel, for example, I used 3\" x 3\" x 1\" for the display cube. That gives the approximate size of a single-action flyreel.
Have fun and be sure to post new pics of the desk with the \"toys\" on it.

Duane, While I don't build bamboo rods I do know some of the guys that are really good at it. Sounds like you frequent Rodbuilder's .org.
Believe it or not, you can get some good deals on blanks on Ebay this time of year. Primarily I use Rainshadow blanks , but build according to a clients wishes. For \"most\" of my components I use Custom Tackle Supply in Shelbyville, TN.
