Actually I have had not formal training in machining or woodworking. I am self taught from necessity and desire. Thanks for the compliment. Jimi
Great Pictures Jimi, and CONGRATULATIONS on you efforts on the reels,,,to say nothing of the outstanding fly vise. It is quite obvious that you have considerable machining and wood working ability. I'm sure that many of us would like to share your experience in every detail but may be reluctant to ask because we are unsure as to your hobby/commercial intent for your skills. I think your reel would look teriffic on a 7'4wt spooled with an old silk line. Hope you will find it OK to share the construction details of both the reels and your fly vise. It is my view that both deserve space in "The Home Shop Machinist" mag. (Great job with the pics Tony).
