A parcel arrived today and low and behold there was 4 priceless gems inside. I'm a huge fan of anything this man makes. He pours his heart and soul into each piece. These acrylic knobs are a million times cooler in person. I took many pics and can't find any that match the workmanship I'm seeing with my own eyes.
Magnificent work Lou. Absolutely magnificent !!
Man, that was fun....hey Lou, I'll take 3 more ASAP ;D ;D
One more with camera flash. I normally don't use flash, but every so often the colors come out better. This one likes the flash
Wow, Ted! Those look great! Lou is what I would call an artisan.
Sid
Agreed.
Those knobs belong in the Museum of Modern Art, and the reels too!
Beautiful, the perfect combination.
You got some valuable reels there my friend...enjoy!
Excellent craftsmanship Lou! Chris didn't do too bad as well.
Sal
Beautiful!
Boy this place is getting unbelievable!
Ted ..... Its Sweet Lou here. lol Thank you for the kind words and a great post.
Those reels look amazing and are nicely complimented by the Custom Knobs. The colors are outstanding and go together perfectly . All these builds you have been doing lately, have certainly been taken to the next level.
You wouldn't think it would be the case, but, its definitely a challenge trying to capture the beauty of these colors in a picture.
So what else have you got up your sleeve? I'll bet there's lots more to come. I'm playing a bit with some Carbon fiber and a few other things when time allows.
Thanks for being patient on these and I'm working on the balance of AT orders every day until they're complete.
All have a great day, .. Lou
Beautiful work,they match the reels to a "T".

Lou, bahahhahaahh good luck with "complete"....we are just waiting for everyone to get a couple before we order round two :) You guys have created demand!
All have a great day, .. Lou
...and the 4th knob goes to my favorite leetle long beach 60. Sorry Lou, I know it's for a jigmaster, but this one is staying right here :) :)

Ted: don't think the red "T" handle that you have on that red reel I have copied, you just got yours first. ;D ;). Very nice combo on all those reels.

I hear ya Joe, they all have Lou love inside...Seeing how Lou injects the ribbon candy inside, there's no 2 that will be ever be alike, but there will never be any doubt they all came from the same place. His work is undeniably instantly recognizable and will remain that way for generations to come. I'm very proud to have them on my reels and will have to hide em from my mates so they don't walk away after a day on the water. Lol
Lou does it again! I can't wait for my next 3 to complete my Tom Conversions... they make the reel.
Ted's parts are a game changer that complete Tom's kits nicely.
You guys hit a homeruns with your offerings. Tom has led the way with his creations and has inspired others to take their creations from the drawing board to fruition.
Thanks to all of you who git 'er done for us,
Dom
Morning sunlight really shows the detail of these unique knobs. The ribbon candy inside casts shadows that constantly change with position of the handle. These knobs are flawless, even in direct sunlight.
Smokin' Ted...and the old LB 60 wears that modern flash very well! I have one of Lou's knobs coming too...can't wait! 8)
Awesome! Love these knobs, looking forward to mine!
How can a person go wrong with Tom's Classic Jigmaster and Lou's custom knob. Plus it seems we have a red theme going lately. Joe and Sal both hit home runs and gave me an itch I had to scratch ;) ;)
-Ted
Hey Ted you get 15 minutes of sunshine in Washington and you concentrate it on Lou's handles. Now that is a fan. :D Dominick
Ted, that reel is beautiful and the knob sets it off perfectly. Thanks for posting it. Guess red is the hot color lately. I'm just finishing up Dominick's and thought I'd get a picture on a red Cortez 4/0.
Thanks again for the comments and compliments and all the best to you and Nancy.
Regard's, .. Lou
