I've only done it on my rod lathe after the material is glued onto the rod blank. Pretty basic, 100 grit sand paper on a sanding block and mash the pedal

Crab Pot - Your spotter friend (and any of the Air Attack folks for that matter) have some serious cajones and skill to be flying in these conditions.  Last night was dead calm here in teh Riverbottom.  About 10:00 it was like flipping a switch - constant 20 kts. - john

I turn pens and other items on my lathe and will make Cigar plugs if I ever source a lead head dealer.

Never heard of turning foam though, it must be very dense. What size of a mandrel does it take?

They were a bad idea gone wrong. The washers I had delaminated because he used the wrong glue on them.

Alan,

If that Penn rod holder is available, I'd like to buy it.

Thanks,

Here are a couple of photos sent to me by my Cal Fire spotter aircraft friend.

Reminds me of the photos he sent me of the Camp Fire in Paradise a few years back.
