    Some nice designs there. I built my motor stand and wrapping jig on the weekend, just working on the thread tensioners now - gonna use compression springs on a threaded bolt much as in the link. This toolbuilding is fun.

    Hehehehe - building the whole wrapper/dryer and all the other items are almost (perhaps more) fun than the rod :-)))

    Right guys, Rick Lewis was so kind to mail the schematics to me.

    You can find it at http://www.smallstreams.co.za/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=9 under Wrapper/Dryer.
