I have it about 99% built. Just not sure how I want to set up the thread tensioner.
That said How do I post a Picture?

Lee,
Good pictures.
Also wonderful work on your upholstery.

I see that you are using lined V=blocks to hold your rod. On each side of the v-block, there is a black strap. Is it your design to use the black strap over the rod and velcroed on the other side of the v-block to hold the blank down to the bottom of the V-block??

Take care
Roger

Lee,
I found your pictures, copied and edited them and then uploaded them to the Rodbuiding.org photo pages under equipment as follows:

Nice job that should work very well to build a bunch of rods.

I assume that you will be adding an extension, if you plan to build any rods other than multi piece rods?

Take care
Roger

Pict. shows a V block that stands off the wrapper that is the same height as the ones on the wrapper just move past the end but then you would need a long place to put it.
The wrapper is 4ft long and the black straps are velcro with a piece of white on the other side of the V.
If I ever need an extension for it, it would have an adjustable leg to hold the other end.
Thanks for bringing the pictures over here.
