My pride and joy

Your Handle will start its Journey across the pond tomorrow Mike. Enjoy it Buddy!
I expect to see it with Sal's spool and my Handle up on the majestic Plinth!

I think I will have to make a smarter plinth!!

Wow, Camden, NJ, 1966. Even out here in CA we know Camden is not a nice place. Was it any better back in '66? I assume not!

Sal and Daron - I salute you.
Mike - hope your 12/O brings you years of plinth-based enjoyment
This thread has made my day.
Cheers all, Justin

Yes He is.
Thank You Justin.

Thank you for your kind words guys, I thought I had posted a photo of her in her new livery, perhaps not, it must be my brain getting old, pension time in three weeks

Anyway here she is, haven't had time to make a new 'PLINTH' for her yet. (what have I started with this word )

That's a plinth-worthy reel if ever I've seen one!

I don't think the plinth is plinthy enough, it needs to be better for that reel

[mhc]

Yes, a more plinthy plinth would look good but don't over plinth it, the reel is the centre of attention.

[Alto Mare]

I agree, just make sure it's not suspended and that it is actually making contact wit the earth .

Mike, I like your plinth, it looks great as is, but might look a little better if you knock the sharp corners off.


the curved shape would compliment the plate and spool.
Nice looking reel my friend, sorry the 16/0 didn't work out, but there will be others.

I agree Sal, this was a five minute job with a bit of scrap I had in the workshop just to get it mounted and placed on the dresser in the dining room. The good lady didn't want a 'lump of metal' plonked on the dresser, I even put thin rubber feet under the plinth to keep her happy, 'lump of metal indeed' no taste at all, she even married me

I have some ideas kicking around in my head, it is just having the time, been too busy.

Took delivery of the superb 501 bars from Alan C. last week, and they are still not fitted on the reel! it will all come together in time.

Ordered the Penn Chronology book from your side of the pond last week, when it arrives, everything will stop until it has been read cover to cover

Mike.

I  think the reel dazzles enough, don't want to outshine its beauty!!

Looks great!  And the generosity around here is mind boggling and it always brings a smile to my face.  Looking forward to seeing your new 'Plinth'.

Alan - maybe we need a word of the month category as well...Plinth takes it for January for sure, haha.
