Those are rather unique rollers on the rod wrapper. Good job.

I love the idea of the inverted castors - never thought of that when I built my rod jig.

That is hilarious Wallace!  Great idea on those chair wheels.  I have no idea how long stuff takes to get to Oz from the US, but your supplies got shipped out on the 26th of sept (the day i received the order).
