Speaking of wrappers, What qualities should a newbie look for in one.
I've got my eye on a couple on ebay?

I went to mudhole over the weekend, NICE shop! They've got all kinds of goodies! I picked up a book and a video to get me started. I think I may buy the parts n peices this upcomming weekend. I'll try to build a 5wt for around $60. I figure if I ruin it, at least it's only $60. Cheaper than a blind ...

I stopped over at http://www.mudhole.com, I'm going to order a video, but befor I do I just want to ask the question, "Who makes the MUST HAVE rod building video?"

Who are the major suppliers of blanks?

So, is it difficult to break into this hobby?
Is the start-up equipment expensive?
Any online videos out there that you guys know about?
Like I said...just curious...
Well honestly it's more like envy but I will not openly admit it!

Of the two choices you've given, neither is a bad idea. However, getting married in the first place...now that was the bad idea! lol Naw seriously though...I'd let the fish go even though doing so is no guarantee that the fish will be biting again within a week or that it'll find it's way to YOUR lu...
