Looks great man
I figure it this way, if everyone in the world had a lie clock, whose hands moved once every time they lied. You could use any politicians lie clock as a ceiling fan.

I would have to find my invoice and pick through it looking somewhere around $100-125. And a lot of time to wrap everything by hand I see a power wrapper in the not so distant future.

Drying motor and hand wrapper or power wrapper, burnishing tool, reamer if your using cork grips and a file you will easily spend around $200 or more on the tools
