Penn 500 project for me-Warning

[Big Tim]

Time for a gift for myself  Warning! When you wash your parts you may want to think twice about using an old terrycloth towel to dry them with as I did and the fibers snagged my handle side plate to my recently purchased Penn 500 and it fell to the tile and broke  Hence the missing plate in my pics. Got a set coming as you cannot guarantee a color match...I will post the finished project when done. Thanks to Alan T. & Alan C. & Bryan for the fast shipping on my goodies.

I think you've been launching too many torpedoes  Chief

Big Tim, I've been using the jigmaster for many years, my hands are still intact.
You're going to love that reel when you're done, even with the exploding plates

No, that handle was off my 112H & that has the handle you sent me
