Hope soemone can help me with this, dont know if I am right with what I found out so far The Dynamwood reel seats are actually made from "resin" and then finished to look like wood.

I am just making a dryer , had one and sold it a few years ago due to relocation for work. I just found a good motor at a BBQ store cost is a little high at $140.00 but it is rated for continueous and can turn 100 lbs. I wanted one like this because I build a lot of rods and when the dryer is complete, with 2 drums at 18" diameter I can dry a few rods at once, the motor is extremely quiet.
