Two wheels evenly spaced is where the blank sits and a separate top movable piece having one wheel sits on top of the blank, this piece has a groove and wing nutts so that its adjustable.
Mikecc gave me a similar set used for drying purpose but with a little ingenuity you can wrap rods with it too.
ive seen exactly what your talking about. I just need to figure out how to make the groove without the proper tools.

Right now I have 2 - 1x3x4's spaced just slightly apart and up on feet.

the rod supports slide along the groove with wingnut and lockwasher amd bolt through the support and groove it to secure it when its in the right place. This definetly helps keep it straight when its in the chuck...
