Jumps in between my ATH projcet with brass reel
I have done this kind of skeleton reel before, but then in aluminum.
Therefore I do it in brass this time , thought posting some pics along the way
It is made of Aluminum Bronze (jm7)
Michael you know where this one is going

Nice work and yes I do know where it is going. Richard was just at my house last night and he mentioned it. I can't wait to see it.

Picture update

[eclecticguy]

Looking great! What's the overall diameter on this and target line capacity?

Regards,
Michael

[swetool]

It,s based on a Pflueger Progress 60
The diameter cross over the pillars is 66 mm
I haven't a clue of the linecapacity, think it's
better to ask Richard

[swetool]

The reel is finished .
Now I will start with the wooden box to store it in

[eclecticguy]

Beautiful work! Can't wait to see the box.

Cheers,
Michael

Now the boxes are finished

[eclecticguy]

Excellent work on the boxes! They really add to the presentation of the reels.

Do you machine the back plate from a thicker billet or press a flat sheet to form the pocket?

cheers,
Michael

It's machined from a thicker billet
