Help creating drying jigs and cork lathe

[MontanaMoose]

I made a simple stand for the motor and
if I'm turning the cork on the blank, I leave
the butt cap/permanent fighting butt off and
use...how to call them..arbors?..spuds?..made
from fuel line, short bolts/machine screws, a
flat washer and a nut.

Slide fuel line on bolt, then the washer and then
the nut. Bolt needs to have enough threads left
over to securely chuck.

Short piece of fuel line to match OD of bolt/screw,
ID of reel seat open end then tighten till it's a light
press fit inside the seat. Turn ya cork !

Of course you'll need supports for the rod
butt if you do it this way, but that's easy. The
best part of turning corks on the butt section
is that you can take it off, assemble the rod
and try the fit.

Cheers,
