Yea, it does. To anyone out there, don't ask me to buff those, I'm just not going to do it. ;D.
I had a nice old buffer and it finally gave up on me, the new one is worthless. :-\

Very nice work Sal, I just got one of those handles for my jigmaster from Lee and I think they are real winners, now I just have to buff it out.

I requested some minor changes, I'm not sure if Lee will do it to just mine or all. We'll see what he has to say.

I only buff the side that shows, the other side gets hit with 600 grit sandpaper to remove any marks.

Are they heat treated for hardness? Big strong hands like yours tend to bend things.

They are untreated 316 SS.

I need to fine out the hole where the gear sleeve goes and they are done.  I'm going to try to get to the coast tomorrow and will do it when I get home.

hey sal, i just noticed. are those the new A.T. arms?
Title: Re: Custom Stainless Handles
Post by: Alto Mare on October 02, 2013, 10:31:15 PM
Mel, the knobs are Alan's new 3/0's, I also have the 6/0, but a friend is testing the reel that it's on.
I have seen lots of handles, Alan's is the best made one so far. Those should last a long while.
