wm+ ... it's we who should be thanking you for including us in the process as you have.

The most beautiful reel I have ever seen. I'm also marveling at your wonderful clean and tidy workshop! Dare I ask what's next?

Wow! Wow! and Wow again! That is a most fascinating series, thank you. I have only just found and joined this forum but I have had to spend the entire Saturday afternoon going through the making of this beautiful work of art. For me, the nicest part of this is that the reel has been made perfectly not to just sit on a shelf and be admired but to be truly appreciated at the waterside where it belongs.

Fantastic, well done sir :hat:

I've just found that, the Coxon. I've also seen the fly reel. I am lost for words and feel just a little inadequate ;)
