most of my rods are done by hand. when i don't have access to either of the lathes that my friends own, i use a jig that i built myself. it is crude, but it gets the job done! (just a little slower than when i use the lathe) the one motorized piece that i do have, is a finishing motor mounted on a simple stand. this has made the final process of applying the rod finish much better. i don't see how i got away without it before. the motor can be purchased at most tackleshops that have rodbuilding supplies. it is fairly simple to make a chuck of sorts to hold the rod to the motor.
