Well since it was cleaned?

I might as well take pictures of it=)

Dont have any work at the moment=(..Probably strip down another rod=)

Pretty compact set up for now....Homemade of course.The thread jig is the newest edition I made...Holds for 4 spools with paper clips for a quick change...If you havent tried the paperclips I recommend trying them...Ive only used them for about half a build,but I didnt have to re-adjust once!!!...They really stay put and hold the tension really well...Theres three guides epoxied to the base...The two under the spools guides the thread and keep it from falling off the spools...I also found that building a new base for the thread jig to slide on its own track was a major win as well.

Also just added the little tiptop support...Its been very handy.I just flip it 180 when not in use....Need to find a way to lock it still,but Ill get there.

Ill eventually build a longer bed and new supports...But No rush at the moment....This is serving me well.....I also hung a 48'' shop light with floresent bulbs ..Best idea I ever had!...Its amazing how much clean light it gives off!

Underneath the table is a 4 drawer tool box that holds all the supplies,finishes,etc.
Ill probably also paint the jig white...Make it easier to find things I drop,haha!

That is really nice. I made all of my stuff but I didn't pay much attention to how it looked. I am about to move into a new shop that is a little bigger and I will try to build a new wrapping station and supports and drying station. I may copy some of your work if you don't mind.

Thanks guys..Yea I need to build a rod rack for the wall on the side so I can free up the corner and extend the table more...At the moment I cant comfortably build anything over 7'6''

Haha, actually Terry the wife has her little salon on the otherside of the room for taking clients at the house...You gotta share when you buy the house without a garageno...and settle for a carport.

Pat..steal all you want,Thats pretty much all I did.

Thanks Doug,but yall know Ill destroy this room in 15 minutes of work.hahaha!
