No I do not use that, I use a motor especially for Rod Turning, however, there has been some clever things done, so I have heard. Happy rod building!!!
@STUPEDAS0, a washing machine is rather large for one. You can get a 6-24rpm motor from dayton or barbecue motor rotisserie as you stated. You might want to look for a battery operated motor too. I got an old one I've had for 30 years and works great. My first Rod was done without a finishing motor, this can be done without having to rotate the rod by hand for hours.
so the epoxy is only on the guides and not the entire rod?

@mcosolitear It is, you just don't want to use the same epoxy on the guide wraps as you would on the handle.

Very informative. Washing machine motor?? Haven't heard that one! I use barbecue rotisserie motors purchased at thrift stores for almost nothing.
