I needed something to dry the epoxy on my spoons, jig heads, and poppers. I couldn't bring myself to spend $70 or so for a dryer so I made my own. I found a 15 rpm synchronous motor my father-in-law had lying around and put it to use. 2 L-brackets and a couple of pieces of 2x4 for the base. The shaft is a 1/4" nylon sleeve that I drilled and tapped. The holder is an old cd with two pieces of 6mm foam glued to the face. I then cut slits in the foam to hold the hooks. I used a 1/4" beveled faucet washer, epoxied to the cd, and a screw to mount it to the sleeve. The cup is for drying rods. The cup is the top of a bottle of clothes washing detergent and the insert is a peice of pool noddle. It holds the rod quite securely. It works pretty well for a machine made from parts just lying around the house. :D
