Refurbing a Rod
« on: August 19, 2010, 06:33:17 PM »
So a while a go i decided to build me this contraption that resembles a rod turner.
In the meantime i added another chuck and motor to turn the rod while the flexcoat is drying.

I decided to pimp a rod that i bought from Hooked.
A pic of what i live to catch and a name that suits this rod.
The picture and name was glued on and coated with colour preserver.
Still need to do the flexcoat.
First pic no colour preserver.
Second one done with the preserver.

Tip of the bud section pimped.
Will post pics of bindings as soon as flexcoat is applied.

Thanks Reefman

Yes each chuck got its own motor.
