Have any of you built your own rig for wrapping and drying rods? If so how did you do it?
Thanks, Tim

I gotta say, some of you guys never cease to amaze me. I can see me cruising the streets the night before trash pickup scouting for old grills and roller blades. I really do appreciate your posts. I would have never thought of doing alot of the things some of you folks do.
Thanks again, Tim

I have a motor out of an old sewing machine that I use. I fit a 1/2" drill chuck to it. Has a foot pedal for speed control. Should be able to pick up a machine at a yard sale for a couple of $. Good luck.

Ice Cream freezers and electric mixers are another source for low speed gearmotors.
