Forgot this part. I have a nicely v'ed box for my rod wrapper!!
Most of the time for decorative wraps the rod blank is resting on my knees. I roll it down my thighs to get it to spin!! :
Anyway , its likely I'll have a Clemens Rod wrapping Lathe before the winter is over. I looked at a Rodsmith to which is nice but its also expensive so I figure why not go all out and get the best. I'm collecting bottles right now. At 5 cent deposit each , I only need 10,000 more to afford the thing.
