Acid / Spiral wrap boat rods?

[The Third Earl]

No idea, ask that stalwart member, The Third Earl chappie AKA Dave.

It looks like a mechanised whipping jiggery thing to me .

You cant stop progress .

It turns the blank to wrap the thread. I think technically a whipping machine - at least one that's built for rod building rather than for the likes of Max Moseley - would require the rod to be stationary and the thread to rotate round it?

Thought you wrapped rod eyes, not whipped...

You do and they are guides, not eyes or rings.

 

[Topwater]

We've already separated the guide wrappers from the ring whippers Wingnut. You're just confused

I sit corrected, can't be bothered to stand.

Built (from memory) 12 of them. Not my cup of tea as I`m a dinosaur but seems they do work. On the pic I posted the last 3 guides before tip were all in line with the tip

I have used spiral wrapped rods and cant really see or tell any difference , so I am guessing the difference must be minimal to the user ?

 

[Topwater]

Apart from the near elimination of tip wrap when jigging

Just to create more unrest, it would appear that rod builders or repairers were whipping on rings ( not guides) well before all this modern “wraps and guides” stuff was invented, in a nutshell , the modern terms are just re inventing the wheel.
Looking in my anglers library I found lots of references to “ whipping and rod rings”
Looky here

Aftco rollers aint rings are they. They simply "guide" the line along the blank. Sorry Dave you still aint come up with a rod "whipping" tool for sale but there are plenty "wrapping" tools. You call it / they what you like, I`ll call it correctly

 

[The Third Earl]

To be honest Stan , I did not realise that I was supposed to be looking for one .
I think it is just easiest to say that rods totally built by hand are “ whipped “ and rods that are built using any form of machine to assist in binding the eyes on are “ wrapped “ . I am a whipper not a wrapper . Never was and in all probability will never be a wrapper , whereas you can do both .
As for rollers , happy to call them guides , well I have only ever whipped a few , I will leave those to the professionals, although if pushed could probably whip a few more on
