It's just icing on the cake. After this I will have my rod finished. I have all the parts together. I just need time to get it to the builder.

The back is attached, flush trimmed and sanded flush.

Here are steps to complete Mike's Penn 20/0 reel case

Attachment of front pieces.


The grain of the wood wraps around the case and the entire front is made from one piece so the grain matches.



Rough fitting of front door


Handle glued and screwed to the top. The reel is 9 pounds and the box easily held 24 pounds in testing.


A top front piece was used for support under the door and to add rigidity.


Ta da - box complete and ready for detail sanding.








Feet too


Wait until finish is applied!

Wow!  That is great work.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

On the first page. Mike said $200 plus shipping.
I'm guessing there are other options for the wood choice?

I suggest next time I'll stay with 1/2" wood and if you like the African mahogany it will be the same $200 plus 7.5% tax if you reside in CA plus shipping. Wood choices like walnut cost me quite a bit more (almost 3X) and require more work so the cost goes up accordingly.  I will charge exactly what I pay for shipping. I send buyers a copy of the shipping invoice and ask for exactly that.

Email me if you want to get started.

Mike,
Let us see a pic of that Bad boy when you get the reel mounted.
Once again Mr. Mayo, Your work is outstanding and well worth the price. ;)

I will set it in the case when it arrives and take pictures. I still plan on making a base for it to sit on. But I won't have time until october. I'm at work more than I'm at home this time of year.

Finish Line; it ships soon to Mike.
