***Please note, I'm no longer making/selling these jigs. I lost my HDPE supplier and they were by far the cheapest option. I would have to increase the price too much in order to continue making them. I am leaving the video up so people wanting to build their own can borrow ideas from the video. The design works great and would be easy enough to duplicate if you are into woodworking or machining work as a hobby.***

It was a lengthy journey to design and speed up the production process, but it was really worth it...the rod wrappers work great! If you buy one, I'd love to share some of your completed wraps as examples of work that can be done on one of these jigs!
