    Every single nut, bolt, spindle and flange was made by hand.

    100% homemade.

    And I’ve not inherited an ounce of his tool-making wizardry.

    Boils my piss 😡

    ..and yes, he does make bike parts from time to time.

    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 inheritance money! The rods he makes are just as good.

    I think I’m right in saying that this is a centrepin trotting reel, not a fly reel?

    Bloody lovely, well done your dad!

    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?
