If you click on the pictures you'll get a bigger version that is clear and sharp. Something happened to the smaller ones in the gallery view and after 6 months I still haven't gotten around to fixing them :-( I'd like to see pictures of your fishing reel when it's done.

Do you have any tips for the type of cutting tool to use? Thanks for the great tip! I’ll try it as I’m starting a project of making a flyfishing reel from scratch.
