Boils my piss 😡

That is lovely. What is it?
Fly fishing reel - bloody stunning...
Wow.
Fishing reel?

A thing of beauty, but where are the pedals?
My dad can fart really, really loud!!!

Can you not buy similar from a shop? Nah, thats pretty impressive scratch built! I guess he's retired or it took a fair while! and im guessing that he has a nice little tooling set up?. well done to him I doubt that level of skill will be around much more!
That one isn't for sale. He's stupid, he could make buckets of [s]inheritance[/s] money! The rods he makes are just as good.
oooh, Steampunk fishing reel 🙂
That reel is very good indeed and your father must be very talented, thanks
for sharing.
Makes me want a proper man's shed... and to be retired!
Awesome! I'm guessing he could make a lot of money selling those,
Blinkin Ek, Niiiice!
Pat him on the back for me will you. 😀
there would indeed be some well off mannor type folk who would apy serious bucks for those
Reely good that!
Very, very good, i read the thread and am very impressed.
i need another lathe..
Very very impressive!
Far out 😯
proper WOW... beautiful.
I want to scream "take it off that rough stone wall, it'll scratch it"
I think I'm right in saying that this is a centrepin trotting reel, not a fly reel?
Bloody lovely, well done your dad!
He needs to really be in here:

Does your dad work for NCIS?
Both beautiful projects by the way.
That reel is gorgeous, big pat on the back for him, where'd he learn his skills and what does he do for his day job? Being amazingly beautiful like that reel is I have to ask, does he catch more fish?
