Rod wrapper
Posted: November 28th, 2008, 2:49 pm
I was looking into getting a power rod wrapper but at $200+ I decided I just build one.
A few rips on the table saw, a little sanding, some screws and here is the final result.
The piece in the middle is the small hand wrapper I had on the new base. It will slide and move around on the base to make wrapping guides and tiger stripes easier. The longer base will also help with supporting the blank better during wrapping and even drying the finish.
This is a closer look at the hand wrapper with a rod I just built for reference.
The roller assembly, just some cheap casters I got from Lowe's this morning.
All in all I've got less than $15.00 tied up in it and it looks like it'll serve the purpose.
Now if could just use the couple I've built thus far I'd be in business.
