Don't mind at all but I'm sure if you go to the rod building forum you'll find all the help you need.
I made my first rod when I was in high school (no instructions) hand spinning it on some shoe boxes with cut outs to hold the rod in place and it came out fine.
As a matter of fact I still fish that rod.
Building a graphite or glass rod is really straight forward.
There is oodles and oodles of step by step info on the net for building a rod.
Pretty much if you can tie a wooly bugger you can build your own fly rod.
Just take it one guide at a time
I know it's been a longtime since i wrapped my own rod, but I do not recall lashing marabou to the guides as I was wrapping the rod....
