Inexpensive - made my own rod dryer / finisher..
Submitted by Blue Whaler on Sat, 2011-03-26 10:54
Used a disco ball light as main rotating motor - took light cover off and modified to fit pvc 5cm tube. With main wooden support and 2 x "V" wooden support brackets. My 1st go at this and I am quite surprised how easy and effective this little project has been. Finished 2 x rods, a 10ft surf and 6ft boat rod. Fitted new guides, finished with epoxy. What a gem.
