Batson Hand Wrapper

I tried to offer a Batson Hand Wrapper free to the first new builder who wanted it, but couldn't get through the ridiculous "i'm not a robot protocol" in the buy/sell. So I'm offering it here.

Let's save this opportunity for the first NEW BUILDER who will pay only shipping to get it.

Michael,

I've just ordered my first two blanks and supplies to build them. I had plans to construct my own hand wrapper, and by no means can't afford one eventually. However it would be a great help and really awesome to start with a quality tool to get off on the right foot. I'm as new as it comes. I purchased two blanks two handle kits some thread, epoxy and a dryer. The only thing I don't have is a wrapper, and my orders haven't even shown up yet! The wife and I are hoping to attend the international expo next month to learn all we can.

If it's still up for grabs let me know. Thanks!!

I sent you an email Michael, can't wait. I have a bunch of cubical desk tops from work. I'm hoping to have a long rod building table finished by the end of this week. I think my mudhole order comes in today and get bit outdoors tomorrow. It's going to be a fishing geeks dream!!

Thanks again.
