Most people starting out in rod building have trouble getting the thread to climb up the guide foot ramp. This is usually because the grind is not correct on the ramp.
We have to grind the angle down on the ramp of the guide foot and we will need the thickness of the guide foot at the point of the ramp to be thinner than the thickness of the thread we're using.
This sounds easy enough, but it's actually a little more complicated than that.
I hope this video helps someone out with getting their guide wraps started up the guide foot ramps!
