I just finished this for my father. He's down in the Everglades and I thought he would get a kick out of it.

Biteme 01-28-2007, 09:05 AM I didn't clear it, just waxed it. I'm curious to see what happen to the metal. Hey Johnny :buds: vanstaal 01-28-2007, 10:12 AM nice nice job !!:claps: :claps: :claps: :claps: echoisland 01-29-2007, 10:54 AM that is one sweet reel. your father is very lucky to have such a caring son. do you need a drill press to do the job? interested in divulging a little more of the process. i would love to try that on one of my old greenies. Biteme 01-29-2007, 11:06 AM I used a drill press and just spaced everything equal. It wasen't that hard. My drill press has the lasers lines and I used them to mark the holes on the top of the spool opposite each other. I made a template for the roter cup which I used on both sides to keep it the same. EricM 01-29-2007, 08:58 PM Terrific work...your father will be proud! 5 String Bass 01-29-2007, 11:58 PM Thats badass! Very nice. vanstaal 01-30-2007, 05:33 AM more pic's ?

Sorry for my ignorance, but I have a Penn 704 (yup, the green/aqua color one, it has to be older then 30 years). It was given to me many years ago because the owner never used it. Well, I've only used it a couple of times maybe, so it is in mint condition. is it worth much? Should I add it to my arsenal, or due to it's age keep good care of it more for nostalgic purposes? vanstaal 02-01-2007, 12:15 PM Nice work.
