Title: Built by Default
Post by: Maxed Out on June 02, 2016, 02:03:39 AM
A few weeks back I bought a nice stock 113H on eBay and for some unknown reason the seller added a red 113H spool. Ever since then, I figured I was obligated to build a unique reel around it and knew I had all the parts laying around somewhere. Everything finally fell into place today.

BTW, the freebie red spool came from some salty haired old feller out of Philadelphia ................thanks Sal, I owe you one and you can expect payback reeel soon. It takes 2 to tango, and I'm doing the dance back atcha my east coast brethren ;D :D ;)

Great looking reel, Sir. Love the shot with the reflection of AT's wrench. Great looking reel photographed with great composition.

  The 2nd run of bars will include the pictured matching clamp. The machining is complete. Next is polishing and anodizing. I expect them to be done in a about 2 weeks, and you are top gun on the list John. 8)

That's a classy looking reel there Ted. The red anniversary spool sure does set off the red theme very nicely.
