The Plinths

[Jerseymic]

Aiala,
Your Plinth is Leaving Kentucky Tomorrow to Palm Springs. Its 11 Degrees here tonight. You might have to warm it up a tad. Enjoy it!
Mike, I'm not happy with yours and am going to redo it. It was nice and level until I added the 12/0. It is sagging a little on the back end. I haven't made any of these for a while.
3/8" Acrylic can hold up a 12 lb 14/0 without any issues. Besides, I want to make you another for your 9/0 too. The simple bend of the thicker material allows me to fit two in the same box.
Good Luck to you on your hectic week and my Best wishes to Jan.

Thank you Daron, there is no hurry, whenever you have the time.

And thank you also for your thoughts for Jan, it be nice for her when today is over.

The only two good days this week will be Saturday, (if I get to work on my reels as planned) and Sunday my birthday (just beer, food and merriment) yo! ho! ho! and a bottle of rum 

Take care my friend

Mike.

Aiala, Your Plinth is Leaving Kentucky Tomorrow to Palm Springs.

Yay!! Thanks a million, Mr. Shark, I can't wait to see it!   

It's 11 Degrees here tonight. You might have to warm it up a tad.

Not a problem, it's 84° outside. I'll enjoy it immensely, I promise. I'll post pics as soon as my 4/0 is mounted.

Rather than starting a new thread I figured I'd add some more Plinth ideas here...We have a ton of scrap metal at the shop, so I sheared some of it and break-formed a few different ideas, so far these two are mounted up...still need to sand and paint them but you get the idea.  Thanks to Daron for starting the idea with bending up the acrylic

Good Job Dan!

Nice work Dan - particularly like the angled version.
Cheers for sharing, Justin

It arrived! Here is my silver-and-purple Senator 113H displayed on Mr. Shark's fabulous plinth:



I can't envision a more appropriate and stylish addition to my décor... Thank you so much, Daron! You are the plinth MAN!

Glad you like it. My Pleasure.

Looks awesome!  That reel is quite the looker!

Nice looking reel.  I have been considering de iating from my typical black or black n gold color scheme on my next personal jigmaster build.  I was thinking purple and white, or purple and silver.  Seeing this one, kinda solidifies my thoughts.

All these reels look too pretty to fish.

Thanks for the photo Aiala.  Beautiful reel.  I also like your choice of books.  Have you gotten into Michael Connelly and the Harry Bosch series?  Amazon just got through making a series for streaming which starts Friday.  Dominick

I just stole Daron's idea but used a different material and shape....kudos all around!

Dom, I've read everything by Connelly, including Bosch and the Lincoln Lawyer books. Good stuff, if something less than serious lit. 

I've watched the Amazon pilot twice, already have the show programmed into my DVR. Not crazy about Titus Welliver as Harry, but will reserve judgement for now.

I think a gold-plated or gold anodized plith would be most appropriate for that International.  Or maybe wood to match the older handles?
