My wife asked me to decorate the family room for the Christmas holidays while she was out shopping. I decorated the plinth over the fireplace. She came home and hit the ceiling. I don't understand women. She give me a job to do and I did it. She says my plinth is too short. I need a vote on this. Check out the photographs and let me know if you can tell I have a short plinth. Dominick

I think it looks great. I would like to have you weigh in on what you think of my decorating talent. Dominick
Love the flintlock!
ho ho ho way to go
Great collection !!!
John
:o looking good ;D
I don't know, if your plinth was a little longer you could put up a 1/0,2/0 and 3/0! :D By the way, when the plinth is over the fireplace I think it is called a mantle. ;D
Ron
Dominick, very nice collection ;D ;D I've been told its not the length of your plinth that matters. :o
I know the 12 year old rule. Sorry I couldn't help myself :D
Nice collection Dom! I'd call it a perfect plinth. ;)
can you add in a green handle? then you'll have the christmas colors covered! ;D
I think you're ready to hang the stockings now buddy.
Love your work, Merry Christmas to you and family !
Ho Ho Ho
Dominick, you are a crack up, and don't drag us into your troubles. We have enough all by ourselves :-X.
Dominick,
You're a brave man putting your collection that close to the fire ;)
Sweet collection! I've been waiting for you to unveil some goodies.
Thanks for showing,
Dom
PS- There should be a couple stockings hanging off those handles!
too short. how are you going to put up more reels?

Speak for yourself, I'm very happy with my plinth ;).
Dominicuccio, that's a nice collection you got going there, all you need is a little more color, the black handles are ok, but not exciting. Thanks for sharing ;)

I believe he only needs the 1/0 & 2/0 . . . Looks like he already has the 3/0 ( 1st reel - No Harness Lugs )
From left to right, I believe they are 3/0, 4/0, 6/0, 9/0. 10/0, 12/0. 14/0, 16/0 . . . Correct ???
Very nice collection. And i love old smoky leading the pack. I am a black powder man myself. Just sold my 1912 50 Cal Kentucky Plainsman last year. I miss it.
Looks Good Dominick!
I'm going to line mine up over the holidays. ;D
I think that red handled 12 looks the best!
shoe-in for photo of the month. :D
I think I've got plinth envy.
you dont have a short plinth, dom
short ones are called plinthesses
you will have to show your penn ld,s now
It's not the size of the plinth...... It's what you do with it.
Looks like you're putting yours to great use!
Very astute Dave. I am in the market for good condition 1/0 and 2/0 which should complete the collection. Of course there are some variations I don't expect to get. Dominick
Great collection Dominick - thanks for sharing.
Quoteyou will have to show your penn ld,s now
x2 ;) ;D
Merry Christmas mate, Justin
I LIKE IT, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
HOPE YOU ALL GET A BIG ONE ;D :D
Dominick, nice collection! The length of your mantle is fine for now. It may not be after you add to the collection. As for your plinth, I think your wife knows how long (short) it is. ;) Bob

What about the "Special Senators", including the HLW reels ?

Dave: I have the 114HLW that I used to use regularly, but I stopped and use Sal's Tank now. Next year I am going on a selling streak and will be selling the reels I do not use. I have to sort them out first. What I meant in the rest of the Senators is that I might complete what you see with a 1/0 and 2/0 and then re-evaluate the rest. Dominick
Had those been in alternating RED and GREEN, she probably wouldn't have "...hit the ceiling..." ; of course, RED and GREEN factory plates are only possible in a parallel universe...you lost the battle before it even started.
what. you need a 2/0?
Alan, I think you have a 1/0 and 2/0 in the extra reel bin.

If you have a 1/0 and 2/0 in the extra reel bin like Bryan says I will buy them. PM me if this could work. It will fill out my collection. Dominick
a 2/0 for sure. i will look for a 1/0 but i do not think i have one.
I love the look but your wife probably realized you should have alternated and included a few green handles. Much more Christmas like! Try again next year.

I did not take the Christmas box down that had the socks to hang for Christmas. I should have put lights on them or something. I hosted a birthday party for 35 people on Sunday. It is funny there was only one fisherman in the crowd (El Pescador) and I know Wayne liked the look but you would think at some level to non-fisher people it would be at least a conversation starter. I am perplexed, there were no comments. So I will have to conclude that my guests figured it right that I am nuts. Dominick
Or just the Zin. Taking its toll. ;D
Some people just don't understand Dominick. Every time I have a family get together, I always bring a reel for my brother or my stepson. Usually a rebuilt one, to exchange for one they have. Or we will look at a rod or something one of us have bought recently. They think I'm nuts too. :P
i found a 2/0 and a 3/0, both on black. let me know if you want one or both!
Humour is usually a male gene...

Thank you Alan, I'll take them both. That way I can remove the red 3/0 and replace it with the black in keeping with the black Senators. Dominick
Nice! If that's all you have then it's just right but I think you should plan for phase II... Or III!

Dominick it may help to remember life is like a bowl of granola. What isn't fruit is nuts and flakes. ;) ;D I like the look. BTW
Bob
I think you need one more reel to swap out for the crab... ;D
Dominick,
I'll take that crab off your hands now that you have the 1/0 to 16/0 line up! We need an updated pic of the plinth. ;)
Did you get that in Mexico?

The plinth no longer contains the Senator collection. It is a little boring. I'm out of town or I would post the boring plinth. As soon as I find a box the crab is yours. PM me your address. Dominick
