This post is pretty worthless without pics, but I built my rod wrapping table when I lived in an apartment and thus space was a huge issue. I bought a kit online that had the sewing machine motor, switches (foot pedal and rotary switch), pulleys, rollers, and a few other odds and ends. I think the kit was aroung 70 bucks. You really need AT LEAST an 8 foot table and having that as a permanent fixture in my apartment wasn't going to happen. I was twenty and having that stuff out was a good way to insure never getting laid. So I made my table using MDF and basically cut it in half and hinged it. It has a length of 1x1 L angle that runs the length of it that was cut in half as well. The legs of the table all have hanger bolts that go through the table top and wing nuts that secure them in place. In short, all of my rod building stuff fits EASILY in the closet and can be put up pretty easily when I decide to build another rod. If you're interested in the setup, I can post some pics. If not, I won't!
