mr cox....did you build this wrapper yourself? the aluminum base was it purchased with the tracks in it or did you mill it yourself....i absolutely love that wrapper....i am a machinist somewhat by trade and your wrapper is really impressive....i hope that you will respond so i can talk with you about some of the dimensions....thanks greg zechman gzechman@comcast.net

I'm sure Doug will get back in touch with you. His lathe and how it came to be, was featured in a near recent issue of RodMaker. Volume 8 #4, I think.

Hi Greg,
Just in case Doug doesn't see this thread. Try a "search" using his name and all
dates. Open a post made by Doug and double click on his name and if he has
allowed it, his email address will be shown. You can then contact him directly.

Eventually, all things merge, and a river runs through it..

Thanks for the kind words Greg. I found the base at a local junkyard. You can see it on the makers web site [www.8020.net] item # 1530. The chuck is a Taig self-centering, drying motor and rheostat were purchased from the sponsors here. Everything else was made at home.

G'Day--Any chance of E-Mailing me details of the various Sizes of the Materials you used to make your latest Rod Support?

Supports are half inch square stock...base is a half inch thick, 2 inches wide, 5 inches long...rollers were machined out of quarter inch flat stock.
