Hi All,
Here are 3 semi-translucent WIP for Ted M. The red is slightly smaller and is proportionate to the Jigmaster. The blue and green are larger and more proportionate to the 4/0.
The knob should always be as large as possible but its size should fit both the hand and the reel. It shouldn't over power the reel, size wise.
Here's several pics with and without the flash. Its impossible to catch the beauty of these in a picture!
The next step is to make the tubes and shafts and a trip to the mill to get them installed.
They can be oriented in a multitude of positions. Some customers like the bling side facing out. I take several pictures and let them decide and some leave it up to me. I prefer a mix of some bling and subtleness.
This gives it both pop and class so to speak.
They are working on some Star Burst colors that are the next step beyond. Kind of a galactic look and absolutely fantastic. I understand they are having some problems at the moment but as soon as I get some I'll post it up. The first pictures I received were spectacular! ;) :o
Dominico and Dave H, : this red is really a great color. From some angles with a mixture of the black it takes on a burgundy look and as you rotate it, it takes on a red look. Perfect for the Tank or Magnum.
Dave, seeing this is going on a magnum the knob should be magnum sized also. If you can provide a few pics of the reel with the handle installed we can come up with a larger size to match the reel perfectly.
Thor and Bryan, the blue is amazing. I don't have all the material yet but it is on order.
Joe, haven't forgotten you and your material is on order!
If I've forgotten anyone here I apologize and please PM me.
Lastly, I ordered 67 pcs of material to be exact at the beginning of the week and only 13 pcs were confirmed. I wasn't at all happy with this but was assured I'm the first on the list. If you have specific colors on order and I cant get them in a reasonable amount of time, I will send you a PM.
Material is due in tomorrow and we'll see where it goes from there.
All have a great day, .. Lou
Last one!
Lou, outstanding. Worth the wait.
These things just blow my mind Lou...fabulous!
The Tank is waiting. Patiently I might add. Dominick
SWEET!!!
I'm finding that many of you fine people are true Artisans and Craftsman...perfectionists of your trade and/or hobby. It is a downright pleasure to witness.
Lou - These are stunning. After the holiday I'd like to put an order in...I just need to figure out what shelf queen I want one for...
