EcoWrapper Video Clips

Many EcoWrapper users have asked for a DVD. We have been working
towards that end and have put together the first step in that direction.
Now you can see video clips of the EcoWrapper system operation on
our web site showing some of the great and unique features included in
this product.

You can get to these clips by clicking on our sponsor link to the left
"The Rod Shop". Then click on EcoWrapper in the upper right side
of our home page. You are now at the EcoWrapper page where you
will see a list of thumbnails of the various video clips. Click on any
thumbnail to play the video. You can also get there using any browser
with our web site address www.therodshop.biz

Our next step is to take these first video clips plus other additional feature
clips and some additional movie like content to produce a DVD that will
be included with every EcoWrapper.

We hope to have the DVD available for the 2010 ICRBE in High Point.

As always questions and comments are welcome. Enjoy these clips,
standby more clips to come!

Thank You,
Clyde Alho

Clyde :

I build a lot of rods, am old, blind, bad back and shaking hands and work in the dark.

I build mostly seven foot one piece rods. My guide wrapping is done with a home made V block hand wrapper, Velcro retained gizmo which allows me to stand in one place, work at a comfortable height while moving the rod for each guide. Most are amazed when they see the speed at which I work.

You have a secret admirer!

When I saw your wrapping rods on the show floor with your ECO Wrapper I was completely flabbergasted! All of the things that I use plus about 50 more things I had never thought of are included in your system.

Many will never realize that many builders hunching down to wrap multiple rods on any kind of wrapper, either manual or power, are placing their back and neck in a horrible position.

The simple fact that your system has that tilt out extension which allows "in your face" positioning is pure genius.

The one thing that I have that is not included in your system is a sliding "hangmans noose suspended from the ceiling o support the free hanging end of the rod while I am working the tip guides.

I am too old to start over but if I ever did I would buy your system in a heartbeat - if it was not the last!

Hopefully I will be able to take another gander at your gizmo in 2010 at High Point. This time I will walk up and contratulate you personally!

As they say - You Done Good!

Bill Stevens

Like Bill, When I saw your wrapper in High Point, I thought that it was the most innovative, well designed and efficient wrapper I had ever seen

Bill,
Mike,

Thanks for great comments on the EcoWrapper, I appreciate it.

I look forward to seeing both of you in High Point. Mike it was nice
meeting you in High Point last year.

Bill, yes do stop my booth, it would be great to meet you.

Tom sure does put on a great show and packs in an extremely large number
of rod builders. It sure did make me a believer the first year I had my booth
there.

Clyde
