Rod Building in Iraq

[allaroundfishing]

Hello, my name is Spc. Reggie Kalous of the US Army currently stationed in Iraq. I am originally from St. Petersburg Fl. I have built custom rods in the past and am in the process of working on some over here in the last months of our deployment. I have many younger soldiers interested in building rods and since we are stationed out of Hawaii they want to build one to take on a fishing trip there. My goal is to get enough supplies together for another deployment so these younger guys don’t spend any money. I have already been working on custom building 10 rod lathes but we are in need of supplies and the blanks are the most expensive of all. I would like to know if any one has contacts or know of any companies that are willing to donate rod building supplies to us over here. My wife is putting together some things I already gotten to ship over here but with all the interest I am getting on this subject I don't think I will be able to satisfy the needs. Any support would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
SPC Kalous
