Sweet looking rig. I have one question about the "Lost Spiral" due to my ignorance to spiral wrapping. I've seen it and I kind of understand the concept of spiral wrapping but I've never used one.
The way you did that one, it looks as if the line might rub the blank when it goes from your stripper to the first 180? Does it not hit the blank at all when the rod loads? I'm assuming you did it right, I just can't seem to visualize the line going through those first two guides without hitting the blank. Definately a nice set-up though.

Definately a nice set-up though. | There's a little trick involved. Look close and you will see a spiral of material over the blank between the stripper and 1st 180. It is a 3/16" strip of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. UHMW PE. Darn close to teflon in slipperiness, but mush more abrasion resistant. Same stuff FedEx lines their chutes with to keep packages rolling along and not get torn up by things like staples. A lot of folks use it to put on surfaces and fences on machinery too.

And what the heck, if it gets messed up or damaged, ya just make another one. Maybe I have a whole $100 tied up in this one in parts.
As you can tell from this and others I've done, I'm more macro than micro in decor.

What does the butt (cap) area look like?
What did you put over the top of the CKW, and how is it when it is wet?
What is Liberace? Did he play for the Miami Dolphins?
