A surprise in the mailbox on my way home last night at 10:30...

Sal sent me a couple of his custom knobs —

Nothing short of spectacular and skillful work.

The red crank will look great on one of the Cortez JM's that I am building.

Plus the 6 hole indexed wood knob will fit on a DAM Quick.

Thanks, Sal!

Best,

I'm glad you like those Fred.
Now I need to confess... The wood knob was meant to have a smaller hole in the center.
I've been using milling bits lately, not really meant to be used freehand, but with a little patience they could work.
Here I guess I when at it too fast and it went off on me, so I decided to enlarge the hole.
It actually looks pretty good :)

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Yup! you are correct Joe, but this one went sideways. Oval holes don't do good with round shafts ;D.

Surprise.  Now let's see it on a finished reel.  ::) Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.
