Well done on the resurrection.

BorisParticipantCheers Woody.
Might even try making a reel next year with an agate line guide. I love red agates or banded agates.
But there’s still a long steep learning curve to go.
Thanks Sleepy.

sleepyParticipantToo clever by half Boris.

JC2ParticipantYes,I will put my order in now before the rush….. one with a red agate guide to match the wraps on my F. E. Thomas 3 wt that you made for me a few years ago.

BorisParticipantI found a very nice JW Young Reel for a 3wt rod. It has a red agate – I love red agates – the agate was cracked and the sharp edges will cut my fly line so I decided to take matters into my own hand and replace the agate.
A nice agate but cracked wont do. I bought a nice replacement that’s a reasonable replacement – same as the Hardy Perfect size, a little thicker that the original JW Young but I had little choice.
I love using collets and seeing the agate go into the bezel. Rolled over the edge with a spinning tool

Stephen HillParticipantLovely stuff Boris. I really try and appreciate your attention to detail. I’m sure I miss some, but golly, it looks so good.

BorisParticipantThanks, Steve.
I’m still a long way from making an entire reel form scratch. That’s going to be level of detail far beyond this.

JC2ParticipantBeautiful as always. Looking forward to share a few tastes on a stream or lake chasing the browns with our cane rods.
The company is what makes it and the conservation and the Barack or a good single malt and the time to enjoy a cigar.
We have done that many times over the years, let it continue.
