Pict. shows a V block that stands off the wrapper that is the same height as the ones on the wrapper just move past the end but then you would need a long place to put it. The wrapper is 4ft long and the black straps are velcro with a piece of white on the other side of the V. If I ever need an extension for it, it would have an adjustable leg to hold the other end. Thanks for bringing the pic

Looking into the DC part I have no idea of how big of a motor or what controller to get?
Forum: rodboard

I don't plan on doing a lot of building. What would be a good DC motor and power source for it if I went that way V what I was planning was a sewing machine motor and a reducer pulley?

Has anyone given any of the thread a break test? I know that sunguard is hard to break and I wonder what the shrink value would be in all the thread in general or isn't that a consideration?
Forum: rodboard

I tried the sunguard thread and it seems to work just fine. I did a one color butt in red It looks as good as any other thread. I think the last time i picked up some it was $12 for a 1000 yrds. If any of you want to try it do a test run first.

For the drier I bit the bullet and got an AMERICAN TACKLE ROD BUILDING DRYER. The rod wrapper I first built about 20yrs ago but it went some where about 10 yrs ago had a sewing machine motor on it. and the one I have now is man powder by hand. I am building a new one from maple. I'll try to post a pic. of it when I get it done just missing a few things I think I'll have it going next week.

Ya you are rite on the thread size. I'll let it be known how it works out.
Forum: rodboard

B92 Thread I do upholstery cars, boat seats and bike seats. It's heavy duty thread.

I have a lot of Sunguard UVR bonded polyester thread would that work for wrapping a rod?
Forum: rodboard

I use a sewing machine motor with a foot peddle and I want to slow it down and give a little more powder to the wrapper.
Forum: rodboard

That is the pulley I am Looking for Where did you get it and the shaft it is mounted on? As for the cost by the time I get it done I'll have less than $50 in it unless I go with a different motor.
Forum: rodboard

What I have is a rod turner set up for drying. I have a motor and want to use it for doing the wraps. What I want to do is find approximately 1/4in shaft with bearings that I can attach it a board and put a pulley on one end and something to hold the rod on the other end. Any one know where to find any of this (shaft, pulley or rod holder)?
