    Default Rod wrapping/drying jig

    I built this today using a 4RPM BBQ rotisserie motor and 1X4 pine. I'll try it out this evening. Jim

    Very clever!!
    Whether you think you can, or think you cannot, you're probably right.

    Add a foam disk to the motor and you have a fly dryer---BILL

    Pretty cool! You will probably want to make another support or two you can move around between the ends. The spread you have is OK for drying, but might be a bit much for wrapping.

    Kevin, The V-notched board is attached with L brackets and 2 screws. It can be moved in a few secs.
    Bill, I have an old turning light motor from Christmas past with the bulb removed and the colored plastic covered with foam. I use it for a fly drying rig. Jim
