BDfishing Posted July 26, 2015 Author Posted July 26, 2015 Looking to see your wrappers & work area Quote
Super User S Hovanec Posted July 26, 2015 Super User Posted July 26, 2015 Lathe area. Bandsaw area. Drill press and wrapping/drying bench. Before the power wrapper. 3 Quote
Ozark_Basser Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Mine really isn't worth posting after you've seen what Scott has haha. I have an 8' x 2' table with a cheap hand wrapper, an office chair, and an LED office lamp which is a must if you ask me. 1 Quote
BDfishing Posted July 26, 2015 Author Posted July 26, 2015 Let's see them all, doesn't matter what I looks like, I'm probably going to be doing it on my dining room table Quote

Super User Jrob78 Posted July 26, 2015 Super User Posted July 26, 2015 I don't have a picture of my work area right now but I do have pics of my wrapper, if you're looking for ideas. 2 Quote
BDfishing Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 Doesn't matter if it's your kitchen table or fancy shop, just looking for ideas Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted August 2, 2015 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted August 2, 2015 I wrapped for years with a hand wrapper and all my gear in a 10 gal plastic tote. I would have to use the dinner table to have enough flat space to work a rod. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted August 24, 2015 Super User Posted August 24, 2015 A work in progress, but I'm almost there. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted August 24, 2015 Super User Posted August 24, 2015 yeah , i'm super jealous !! i wish i had the extra room to be able to set up a wrapper Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted August 24, 2015 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted August 24, 2015 A work in progress, but I'm almost there. That's a big dog house you've got there Gary. Looks good. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted August 24, 2015 Super User Posted August 24, 2015 I wrapped for years with a hand wrapper and all my gear in a 10 gal plastic tote. I would have to use the dinner table to have enough flat space to work a rod. That's what I did for a couple of years while trying to decide if this was something I truly wanted to pursue. Except for the bucket. I used a cardboard box, reinforced with duct tape, which was also my rod stand for hand wrapping. We aquired a cabin on the lake when my wife's older brother passed away. Spent quite a bit of cash getting it into reasonable condition. The north end is the a-frame section you see. There's an identical section on the south end, which is now a small kitchen. A fifteen foot square room separates the two a-frame, with a second floor the same size accessed by the narrowest spiral staircase I've ever seen. I have to go up sideways. The whole thing is about 600 square feet. Not very big, But big enough for me. Lee, like I told my wife, I hope I haven't built my own doghouse. I haven't had to sleep there yet. LOL. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I'd look long term to move the lathe out of the wrapping area. The dust is just too hard to stay On top of Quote

My lathe is 40' from my wrapping bench and I can't apply finish for about a week after turning a grip. In the process of building a dirty room for the lathe, drill press, saws and assembly bench.

The dust is just too hard to stay On top of Wish I could, but I don't have the space. It a case of there, or nowhere. A box fan with a furnace filter taped on clears the air in less than a day after cork sanding. Bugs are a worse problem than cork dust for me. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted September 6, 2015 Super User Posted September 6, 2015 Exactly. My lathe is 40' from my wrapping bench and I can't apply finish for about a week after turning a grip. In the process of building a dirty room for the lathe, drill press, saws and assembly bench. If I put my lathe 40' from my wrapping bench, I'd have a variety of problems. To the north would put it in my neighbor's garage. South, in an overgrown empty lot. West, in the road. East, in the lake. I don't think any of those locations are gonna work for me. LOL 1 Quote
fastcast54 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 get a shoe box cut some knotches to lay the blank across. put thread in coffee cups and run thread through some books "for tension" its a poor mans wrapper but it works well Quote
