   Here,s a handy devise I made a while ago to sorta hold the reels from rolling around or falling over.  Its a block of soft wood (cedar) with a cloth or foam insert glued in the cavity.  The plastic ears can be moved around as needed and were made from a pc of scrap deck plastic.

  this plastic is not brittle and is easily drilled and sawn.

  Seems to work good on most reels and saves frustrations.

  The center part was lowered with a 4.5 inch holesaw and electric drill that is fairly common.  or possibly borrowed.  Then the center was chiseled out after the big holes saw cut was made about 1/2 inch deep.  spade/paddle drill bits could speed the center removal first.

I love homemade tools!  Great idea!
I've been working on a similar tool also.  I'll post some pics when it's done.

Great idea Gary.  I prefer to slip, drop and catch with my knees. Doh!
