[QUOTE="Tikka280ai, post: 138617, member: 753"] i bought the whole wrapper dryer and tool combo from mud hole. In terms of how long it takes it really depends on how you intricate you get with all the little details and making them look purdy. I usually glue the handles on and let them sit overnight. Figure 1.5 to 2 hours of wrapping and positioning guides once you have the hang of it I use prokote finish which needs quite a few hours to dry once applied but after it is applied i let them spin for anywhere from 12 to 24 hours depending on temperature. As stated above i dont make pretty rods i make functional ones. I dress them up a little with the handle and threads i use but nothing completely over the top. Auggie or Fishreaper may have different amounts of time into the rod but it really comes down to the individual building each rod. I would say i have 4.5 to 5 hours into each rod between testing guide placement mounting and assembling handle(i don't make my own so that cuts out time) and wrapping guides and another 1 to 2 hours for finishing and final inspections and installing tip-top [/QUOTE]
