Hera are some photos of Johns rod lathe and dryer.

Although he does have a sewing machine motor to drive the lathe he prefers to turn the lathe by rolling the rod with his forearm.

The dryer is powered by a microwave oven motor geared down by belts and pulleys.

The photos are pretty self explanatory but if anyone is interested he is only too happy for anyone to visit and have a look and he will explain the whole process from making the lathe and dryer to making and repairing rods.
