Title: Ruth's new 501
Post by: Reel 224 on February 14, 2017, 05:01:00 PM
I recently received my generation 1 shift levers from Ted and there was a surprise for Ruth in the package. A new Red reel stand and Clamp. Ruth was very excited to see the whole setup in Red specially for Valentines Day.

Joe

PS: Happy Valentines Day Hun!

Joe, that's your best one yet. The shift lever and the clamp from Ted is the icing on the cake. Talk about an appropriate color for the occasion.

Nicely done! Ruth should be a very happy camper on this one. Now if I could only get the time to finish mine?

Best,  ..  Lou

Thank you all for the complements, but as I said before. Nothing would be accomplished if there wasn't people here to make the parts to build such reels as these.

Working on yours Keith and trying to complete a myriad of others. Spend at least 8 hrs a day on knobs and probably another 4 or so on other commitments and projects.
Best,  ..  Lou

I've seen a bunch of these, but having the additional  parts from Ted and Lou really brings it home.
Good job Joe! Ruth will be happy.
