nice work. Do you know how much you are going to sell them for? Keep up the good work. From Houston Texas, Gulf Coast Fishing; Galv. Island State Park...

I have been in the class, & I had a good time, but I learned more by watching dvd's and youtube vid's. If you know how to glue a reel seat & wrap string on a stick, then I wouln't waste my time. They didn't show me anything new.

you can also use two industeral wheels - find the ones that are fixed into place. turn them upside down on you work area and mount the as close together as you can without touching each other. take another two and do the same at the other end of the work area. you can now lay your rod on top and spin it. I took an old round pully from a car repair shop & mounted it to the end of my workspace. then had my lathe or drillpress beside it. ran a old belt from a car (or womans panty hose) from the motor to the wheel witch turns the fishing rod.

I used a plastic tool rack it has slots cut out in it to hang tools on. mounted it to a bench, table, or work surface. I bought it at sears. then I took two 1"by4"s and cut them with a v on top. turned a board flat on bottom; and attached it to the top part. then drilled 4 holes on bottom- so a long bolt will slide threw it. a round washer on the bottom slides into the plastic tool holder. the top of the v was lined with extra soft leather from another project. the rod holders slide back an forth accross the bench. I used a foot pettle from an old sew machine & a rotiserrie motor found on an old bbq pit. attach motor to another board even with v cuts. use round pvc pipe to attach rod to motor put 8 screws even spaced then put rubber bands to hold rod on motor. I used mouse traps to hold the thread & keep it tight while spinning.

I use the caps of plastic bottles - ex: coke, mouthwarsh, shampoo, etc... You can save them up and use diffrent sizes too.

I have plans and all parts list for fluid bed made from pvc parts found at hardware store. lf you would like plans and part list with instructions then e-mail me Roy Gilliam - royg911@hotmail.com - no junk mail.
