With all the double dogging going on. I don't think anyone has ever double dogged a 12/0.
I tried the razor blades from a disposable razor like Bunnlevel suggested, No dice, way too brittle, they break very easily, Guess I'm sticking with Brass.
This crusty old 12/0 had one part that wasn't and I sent it to Jersymic to complete his 12/0 across the pond.
I got me a 196 dremel cutter bit like I saw Sal using, and it made the job a lot easier. Just have to be careful not to cut too deep.

This reel was so crusty, I used simple green, brake cleaner, and finally ended up using emery cloth to clean up the green corrosion on the brass.

It only took me six hours to get to this point, almost there.

You're getting to be a pro Daron, just like everything else, a little practice goes a long way ;).
Not raining on your parade, I still enjoy everything you're doing, but Justin did do this a while back:

I also have one somewhere, but mine are not easy to find. ;D
It doesn't matter who did what, as long as we keep up with the improvements.
Keep them coming buddy.
Awesome Daron. I bet it sounds really tough! Keep up the posts and pics.

Nice Job. That old workhorse has a lot of good years ahead. Do you ever wonder what one of those old reels as already caught in it's life?
Yes I do Dwight. If they could only talk. ;)
When I originally posted this, I had some derogatory comments about Bryan not answering me back. I didn't mean to sound like a smart aleck. I apologized to him and removed my comments. I hope he accepts my apology. I reread it and it did sound terrible. My intent was not to upset him.
Guess I should proofread my posts better before putting them up. :-\
Daron, did you have to take some off the end of one of the dogs to get alternating? Or did you go with the simultaneous set up? I LOVE. That alternating sound of those larger senators dogs.
Bob
Alternating, of course!
Love the clickety clack! ;D
Daron, that reel looked pretty good when you were done. How come you sold me the one in better shape? He he he. Dominick

No hard feelings.
Looks good to me.
How do you like that spring placement?
It has worked well for me.
I too like the clickety clack of the alternating dogs.
Yes John,
I copied your work buddy. Much easier and good tension on the dog.
I didn't have to go under the outer ring with this Monster! ;)
