80/20 Rod Wrapper

A couple years ago I noticed a wrapper in some photos that was built out of 80/20 aluminum extrusion. Does anyone have or know of someone who may have built one of these wrappers?

Click on the Photo link above - go to the equipment section. You will find several lathes that use the 80/20 for a base.

There was a gentleman that made a few for Bob McKamey at Custom Tackle Supply. I seem to recall he may have passed away.

Doug Cox built a very nice home made unit from that material a few years back. His photos should be on the photo page here.
