It's not going to make the Smithsonian but it will make fishing rods. Now for the drier.

Don't try this one at home folks! This will work for small diameter blanks (although a bit scary) any blanks near an inch in diameter snaps thread like the most frustrating thing I've ever dealt with. Now that I have changed out the wheels and the motor she is so much more manageable. I'll post pictures as soon as my camera gets here. Thank you for the motor, switch and chuck Mr. Roger Wilson this is a world away from burning up my fingers wrapping!
I don't know where the chuck came from but here's a link to the motor Roger sent me, ( [ link ] it's very manageable, a little tricky with positioning knots (foot pedal reostat , on off on switch adapted to the wrapper with the pedal on carpet in my case)but with a little practice these are what I would consider a very good starter motor for power wrappers. I wouldn't try to do too much other then a power wrapper with them though.
