I am building my first Fly rod, which has now turned into two fly rods at the same time. When I am done with them, I will build my Bamboo that has been sitting in pieces in the corner[]

All I can tell you as a newbie myself, Silk is very nice to work with, but you need water. Dip the end of the silk in water and it will stick to the blank while you wrap.
