I have a complete wood shop with a lathe. If I don't have something that will work laying around I can make an arbor very easily. I was going to send it of but I found the REI (?) video last night. After seeing them do one I decided to do it myself. Had no idea how it was done till I saw that. No harder than masking off and painting a boat or car but i can see how people would really make a mess of it.
