Ian B Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 This is something that my Dad and I built, it's still not entirely done, there is a little bit more sanding to do. We built it with a table saw. Dowels and epoxy are holding all the pieces of wood that is upright in place. The turner is a roast turner for campfires. We made this one look like Ron Hagens rod building table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry H Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Good stuff Ian . You've got me beat all to H. I started a rod table last Xmas and although I've got the base and some moveable supports, it's not nearly as far along as yours . Still thinking about motors and such .

Don Andersen Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Ian, Couple of things you might like to consider: 1] Multi output shafts from your motor so that several rods can be turned @ the same time. If you want pics of my turner - I'll shoot some - It can turn 4 sections @ the same time. 2] Lining your rod supports with felt. I use sheet felt from craft stores. One layer seems to do it. 3] You rod supports may tend to "rock" a tad when wrapping. The bases of the supports you made may be a tad undersized. catch ya' Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Don, Please post those photos! Like I said I wasn't completly done with it, but I was going to put felt lining on it. I tried it with this furniture padding stuff we have, but I thought it was too stiff. Thanks! -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Andersen Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Ian, Here are some photos of the tunrer I use. The turner is only used to turn rods to let the wrap coatings dry. A rod wrapper is another set of tools. For whateve reason, this program would only allow me to show 2 pics. The address for the others is below. If you have any questions, give a shout.
