The last until the Fall

[STRIPER LOU]

Thank you all so much for your comments, they're appreciated!

Dave's knob was altered to fit the design of the Magnum. The heavier tube and shaft will be able to handle 50+ pounds of drag and probably then some. Its a beast of a design!
Although the Tiger pattern varies, its absolutely beautiful with a high polish.

Some pieces exhibit a burst of gold tones that are amazing in contrast to the black.

The blue was poured about 6 months ago. DoSo is going to love this color!

I have not poured much since, as doing so in the basement is nasty, even with a good mask and exhaust fan, the fumes hang for days. This is definitely not a low VOC material and certainly not good for your health!!
Mixing outside is the way to go but a mask is still needed and it has to be low humidity. I'm pretty much out of material but have managed to save a few pcs for myself. Only a handful of my reels have the tbars.

If they're in the shop they're history. Hardly any Tbars last the day.

I have poured some special purple/black pearls for another T4NI and the Randy Pauly T60XN. As time allows these will be completed along with a new wide top star. This star will be the one mentioned that will use an existing star and can be home modified with bought components.

Hopefully with time and some patience, you'll be able to roll your own. I had planned to have this done several months ago but just too busy to get to it. Also have some really nice SS handle arms in the works.
Actually, I have a ton of stuff going on!

The 2 speed is on hold but definitely not forgotten. I may have access to some machinery available from Quick Machining Services this fall, a gent I went to school with. Both his shop and especially his son's is filled with the right equipment and could possibly be available for some of these upcoming projects.

Will keep you posted as everything progresses.

All have a great evening,  ..  Lou

Lou, looking forward to viewing more of your products when you get around to it. Best of luck when you ramp up production. Be careful with those fumes.
Still looking for that elusive Orange jiggly handle.

Its time to get that magnum together Dave and give it a workout! I'm sure the new knob is going to match up perfectly with the Black Shadow. I'm anxious to see it.

Do, thanks for the kind words. They should arrive on Thursday.

You and your lady enjoy them in good health and catch lots of fish!

best regard's,  ..  Lou
