Dovetail Rod Wrapper kit w/ two tensioners Pre-drilled ready to assemble

Description

I have a simple Rod Wrapper kit. It is made from Quality Pine. All holes are pre-drilled in the base so all you need to do to assemble it is to screw it together and glue on the felt. It has a dovetail track with  Walnut sliders to position your thread. It comes with instructions, two thread tensioners, and a separate V-block support for projects that are longer. The thread tensioners are commercial tensioners designed for Juki machines- They give a nice range of tension-so they can meet the expectations you have for your wrap.
This tool design has literally been used to make 1,000’s of rods.
I make two models of Rod Wrappers- this model is about 23″ long and it is symmetrical. This allows you to wrap the ferrules or the tip top from either the right or the left side. It’s a nice design.
The lines on this wrapper are very clean. There is nothing to get in your way as you are putting on your guides. It comes with felt and the hardware you need to assemble it. The hardware includes the tensioners, the fastening screws, three walnut sliders with eye screws and two finishing nails for the thread. You could substitute dowel rod, but the nails have worked fine for me.  You will need a Phillips screw driver, hammer, scissors, glue, and a drill to put this together. A drill with a Phillips screw bit or a Screw gun will make assembly much easier. A little sandpaper can be used to take off some of the saw fuzz but it’s not necessary. Put a couple of coats of Poly on this and keep it out of the sun and it will last you forever.
This design has been used to literally build 1000’s of rods and it works great!
This is what we do for fun–Enjoy your build!!
I build these out of my home in Wisconsin- if you have any problem with the operation of your Rod Wrapper please let me know and I will do what I can to help.
Due to the higher price of materials I have had to raise the price of my Rod Wrapper. I apologize, but the price of lumber has increased 270%
