Hi  guys   Here are some pictures of tools that I made to assist me in my reel work, plus photos of me working in my workshop.


my gadget for spinning stiff handle knobs to lossen them up


a wedge to hold up the thumb screw on a jigmaster


a wood jig to hold a spool while i'm removing line with my two funnel line stripper


every day tools, a pin punch with sleeve holder, hose to hold gears in tact


assorted small parts, screws etc plus shoeboxes to hold reel parts

Nice photos.  I like the idea of your "grease board".  I have the grease in a small cup and I am constantly chasing it around the work bench to get a little grease on the brush.  Question.  When you use the hose on the sleeve, does that allow you to slide it into the side plate and hold the washers and all in place?  I often have trouble with the washers moving out of position and I don't know it until it is all closed up and I test the drag and only have half as much.  Thanks.

hi pejerey       yes,  the hose works fantastic,  depending on which hose you get, worst case you might have to shave the sides a little. i slide on the tube, it holds everything in place, after inserting the bridge and gear assy.  hook up dog and spring, tighten the 4 screws, i slide the tube off and done, excellent.  the piece of wood with the grease brush, is the top of my wd40 wash bowl, works great

Very cool, Harry. Do you work on reels other than Penn's ??

[harryk3616]

hi    doradoben        i mainly work on penn reels  and cardinal spinners 3,4,6and7's  , i collect them as a hobby to occupy myself.   for friends i work on their mitchells, diawas etc gives me something to do.  i enjoy the heck out of it, keeps my wheels turning, don't want my brain to go stale. thanks for the response. if my son helps me again, i'm going to show a reel good thing i made.

Harry, the spool jig is a neat idea also. Man I gotta lot of stuff to build now. Thanks for all the great ideas.

hi    bob      i figured why put extra wear and tear on the reel, stripping the line, if the reel is apart its a cinch.
