I have a Batson Hand Wrapper that needs a "thread carrier" piece (the piece that goes into the groove and allows the thread to go from the spool to the blank) cobbled new that I will offer to a new builder (please, don't respond unless you are a newbie) for just the shipping cost.  First one to respond to my email will get it.  Better than a box.

There seems to be a lot of interest from new builders asking for help on another forum, so in a couple days I'll close this down and offer it there.  Seems everyone is in pretty good shape here.

I'm looking to get into Rod building, I seen an read your post with the title jumping in with both feet. I have also checked out the other site you recommended. Do you have any other information/websites that you could list for more information on rod building gear,supplies, an general know how? Is the hand wrapper spoken for?
