Five on the bench

The pictures are of five reels that were upgraded by me over a year or so, one to go a Squider in a week or two.

I always get jealous of how clean and organized everybody's benches are. Please tell me you guys clean them up for pics!

That's a nice stable of workhorses you've got going.

Nice. Love those inlays in the handle. Really high quality work. Is that an alps reel seat? Really sharp looking. Which reel is going on it?
Please scatter some stuff around your work surfaces so you don't make us all look bad
Nice group of reels. Looks like a lot of contributors from here. I bet it's hard to pick a favorite

The cork I maid out of stacking assorted cork rings. The reel seat is an Alps. The reel that is going on that rod is the silver Newel that is on the bench last one on the right.
