Time to finish this home made reel

Post by Evert van der Plas »

Some time ago i started to create a small reel with a glow in the dark backplate :idea: have to make a brass reel foot, a few handles with brass cups and a center with 6 spokes in it. still a lot off work but when it is done it will look nice and different off course. the spool is almost finished.
I will post any updates here later

Did this reel get completed?

Very intrigued to see the end result.
