How To Make Wire Fishing Rod Guides For Rod Building/Repair

Making your own fishing rod guides isn't going to be for everyone because it is time consuming and there are a lot of inexpensive guides available online.
In my case, I'm building a rod for a very specific use that I'm not 100% sure will work out the way I hope it will. Using homemade guides will allow me to build the rod without investing much money into it. A prototype of sorts. It will be a fly rod that isn't really a fly rod LOL...you'll have to wait for that video to come out to see what I mean!
This would also be helpful if you need guides quickly and don't have anywhere locally to buy them or you don't want to wait for them to arrive by mail.
Another potential use for homemade fishing rod guides would be for people who are new to rod building and want to practice. On most people's first build or two, it isn't going to be perfect (mine still aren't and I have done several). Making your own guides can save you some money as you are learning.

If anyone has any ideas or an easier way to make these I would love to hear it so please comment on the video.
