Again, Mr. WIZARD. I did something like this. Same motor. Used the larger size pill bottle (prescription) with screw on and child proof cap so could use both sides. Ran shaft through bottom (glued). Top has place to run × of rubber bands for small sizes of sections. Open bottle (no top), is used with 2 pieces (split to fit) of pipe wrap (freeze proof material). Both are slip clutch. Motors come in fast and slow speed. Motor stand of T of 3/4 board. Notched shoe boxes that nest for travel and storage. Fly tying spools for thread tensioner. I build 10 & 11 foot Nymphing rods while traveling. Works Great!
Love this idea! I just built my own wrapper and dryer last week. It is way over built lol. Using an old drill with an old power wheels battery and trickle charger for a power supply. Old RC car wheels for rollers. Even rigged up a speed control. But the Chuck has been the hardest thing to work out. I've just been using old bits of broken rods to slip my blank over. But I had a rod run off while I was gone to the store while drying once. Once I get it perfected I plan to rebuild it in a cleaner and make it less ugly than it is now. Keep up the videos guy. I love the no nonsense professionalism with out being boring. Great job at getting you point across with out putting us to sleep. You have my respect.
@@TheFishingHobby I will definitely give it a go. Again thanks man!!! I just watched another video on another machine and gave me ideas on how to set up my tension for my thread. I like the way you think.
nice plan, you could just stick the tubing in hot water, its what people do to get pc water cooling tubes on compression fitting, like on radiators, and happy new year!!!
That works and is a good suggestion but the trapped moisture on the motor shaft causes it to rust. I did that on an older setup I had using the same type of motor in a different configuration and the motor shaft rusted 😆 It would be fine on the stainless steel screw, but the motor shaft is plain steel with sketchy chrome plating. Those cooling tubes are probably copper or aluminum so the trapped moisture wouldn't be an issue.
Here is a video I did that shows the stands I make and sell as well as the motors (one for drying and one for wrapping) that I like to use with the stands as well as a wireless remote control unit. There are links in the video description. ua-cam.com/video/jlv03jji-I8/v-deo.html
I don't remember what it was exactly. The inside diameter was probably around 5 or 5.5mm or so and the tube stretched enough that it would stretch over the bolt and motor shaft.
I am trying to build a rod one handed. I have a Vet with one arm and he wants to build a rod. I am thinking about using your motor mount for the rod wrapper. I have a 3 jaw chuck that will work and some aluminum channel for the bed. Supports will be Sycamore as I have some of that and I really like the grain. Do you have any suggestions on what would make the wrapper more one-arm friendly?
Hi John! I can't speak based on any personal experience, but it seems to me that a rod wrapper based off a design like this may be the best way to go: www.ebay.com/itm/Dovetail-Rod-Wrapper-kit-w-two-tensioners-Pre-drilled-ready-to-assemble/281660160850?hash=item419440fb52:g:WZAAAOSwPhdU8S2F I make and sell a hand wrapper myself, but it would be more difficult for someone with one arm to use in my opinion. I do not know the person who makes and sells the ones I linked to, but I can tell you why I think that design would be easier to use. First, the spool install method is really easy because you just drop the spool onto the shaft it spins on, no need to tighten anything up. Second, the tensioning system is very simple to use, just wrap the thread around the sewing machine thread tensioner and it holds the thread tightly sandwiched between metal plates. The tension is easily adjusted with one knob on top of the tensioner. The thread routing is very simple, from the spool, around the tensioner between the metal disks and through the front guide. It is a very simple setup and they do work well. The major drawback to the sewing machine style thread tensioner is that they can damage metallic thread. Metallic thread has a foil wrapped into it and they are not very durable. If your friend wants to use metallic thread, I would suggest using metallic machine embroidery thread instead of rod building metallic thread. Metallic machine embroidery thread is designed to be used with that type of thread tensioning device, is quite a bit tougher and should hold up better. I'll make a suggestion also to start out without using a motorized device to turn the rod. I have a video that shows how you can get a nice epoxy finish without a dryer motor or a fast spinning motor for applying epoxy. If your friend isn't in a rush to turn out one rod after another, I think the manual turning method I demonstrate will be easier to start out and you can still get nice results. Here is a link to that video: ua-cam.com/video/BxRtH4dHK58/v-deo.html Of course, I am happy to sell you any of the products I make...but i think it might be best in this particular situation doing everything by hand just because it is an easy process to learn and less to tinker around with. I hope that helps and good luck to your friend with his journey into rod building! If he ever needs any tips or pointers, I'm always happy to help if I can.
@@TheFishingHobby Thanks pretty much what I thought, but had been swayed by others who think motorized is the way to go. My feeling is that manual is better and simpler. I started with a cardboard box a book for tension and a coffee cup to hold the thread. I have built 4 or 5 wrappers and still can't find the one I really like, but always come back to the manual wrapping. Anyway, I agree with everything you are saying and very much appreciate the links, I use a similar method for hand applying epoxy and I agree, as a beginner doing things manually gives a good feel for what is going on. Thanks again and appreciate your great videos.
@@johnwright4781 no problem at all. I do prefer to use motors personally just for the speed of it. I just don't know that is optimal for the situation you were asking about. Seems like a lot of extra steps to load a rod in a chuck, tighten it down, adjust the supports to get everything lined up, messing around with speed controllers and wiring, plugging things up. It just seems like a lot of work for someone who is trying to do all those things while they are still learning the basics. Pretty easy to keep things simple when getting started, learn the basics and then move on to more complicated setups if he wants to go that route at a later date. If someone is just building a few rods a year, it probably isn't worth it. If he wants to start a business building rods, then yeah he will want to progress to that level at some point in the future. I hope he enjoys it, it is a pretty rewarding hobby in my mind.
@@TheFishingHobby The chuck I have is a three jaw that is like the chuck on electric drill, not jacobs but the kind you can tighten with you hand. I haven't tried it yet, waiting on the parts to assemble it to my motor.
They have them in a lot of different speeds, but I think the one in this video was this one: www.amazon.com/dp/B01G8USQO2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_Y7qHFb3Y4XW1X
Well, that's an interesting way to do it. Don't you know if you keep giving out all these secrets, you won't be able to sell them for 1000% mark-up on the materials like everybody else?😂👍💯
@@TheFishingHobby It's a good thing I put 99% of them back then, isn't it?😜 I like to catch them again after they've grown some more. I caught one yesterday that's been growing for a while.😁
Cork is a great choice too. I used cork washers on this older video I did on a different slip clutch chuck I made a few years ago. ua-cam.com/video/wwQo4KWLSh4/v-deo.html
I built one, but this is brilliant. Great tips

Thanks! Cut your hole in one of these about 3/4 of the diameter you want it to hold and it will be a good tight fit and should work out well for you 👍
@@TheFishingHobby I will definitely give it a go. Again thanks man!!! I just watched another video on another machine and gave me ideas on how to set up my tension for my thread. I like the way you think.
No problem and thank you for watching! Good luck with your project and rod building 👍
Brilliant... I've been racking my brain to come up with a cheap chuck idea, I think this is it.
They work really well. I've used mine a lot with no problems whatsoever.
You can buy flexible couplings on Ebay which will connect the motor to the chuck. I used 7mm x 6mm and it cast about $3.
You are very creative and it is really fun to watch your videos
Thank you!
Great video footage, thanks for sharing your video with us!
Thank you....well thought out.
Wow very interesting sounds like a great idea!!!!!
It works well 👍 I'm going to put out a video this week about a solid mount for it instead of a vinyl tube.
Thankyou for the details in the information.Keep up the great work.
Thank you!

What size of tubing are you using for your chuck to motor ?.
