Jack McCowan Video - A lovely short video from Jack McCowan, who visited my workshop in Australia several years ago. I think that he did an incredible job from the few hours he spent filming!
Michael Herman Video - Michael Herman came and filmed the process of making a rod with me a while back, over three days… A highlight was the focus on using the sounds of rodmaking rather than having any music as an overlay. You can read more about the sound on the video at Joseph Dutalis' website - soundrelated.com
Wild Creek Video - A couple of years ago I visited my home state of South Australia, where I gave that tale at the South Australian Fly FIsher's (SAFFA) Annual Dinner. The day following the dinner, we had a bamboo casting day, and Neil Charter of Wild Creek covered the session in this video.
Making a Bamboo Spey Rod for Peter Hayes - This video captures the making of a Bamboo Spey Rod for Peter Hayes' 50th Birthday, through a series of photos taken along the way.
