Subject: Drying rack again.

I have searched 'drying rack' on here numerous times. Can anyone post some detailed pictures so I can get ideas to build my own? I tried a disco ball motor but they aren't strong enough and have a ton of play. I need an adjustable BBQ motor. Do you know where I can get one?
Any help would be great.

Randy,

Go to menards or Home depot and get a gas grill rotisserie set (about 25$). I had some spare 3/4" plywood laying around, I used the top of a 5 gallon bucket to get the wheel diameter. Cut it out with a jigsaw and drillerd a hole in the center for the skewer. I screwed some hooks into it and purchased some springs and bent some s hooks (the same wire i use for baits) here are some photos, I modified it from the design in the photos so that the baits rotate between the wheels. This is still running strong, let me know if i can help further.

Good Luck,

MS

I use a rotissery motor also, and have a bunch of different attatchments depending on what I am painting at the time. But if I am doing topwaters, which are thru-wire, I will usually do about 4 at a time, and use the forks that go into the chicken and just shove them into the center hole of the bait, I use a 1/8 drill to make the holes, so the forks have a pretty good friction fit.

eBay has a lot of motors with variable transformers on them for speed control. Geared down for extended use just like you need.

That's how I got mine - a larger motor that was geared down for longer use. I had a rotisserie motor die on me over night with 8 baits on it. Woke up to 8 baits sitting above a big pile of cured epoxy on the basement floor. Lots of bad words.....

Can you send me a link to Ebay to one of these motors?
Thanks
