RE:clemens rod wrapping lathe

Dale Clemens custom thread work or rod building or something to that effect, don't have it in front of me. It has tons of patterns, good instructions on setting up the wrap, which is always the hardest and most important part of any good wrap. Building quality custom rods is still a one rod at a time deal. Sure maybe you can finish several at once with a multi-rod dryer, but again why bother. I just clear off my kitchen table, crank up some tunes, lay out two of the ball bearing supports, with a third on an extension for the long stuff and go to work. I found an old power wrapper at a going out of business sale years ago and although it worked fine, I still would rather wrap by hand because I always get better quaility.

Good luck with your search.
