And if you don't have time that looks like it would make a mighty fine ashtray!  ;D  I am just kidding, thats some reel dedication, and I can't wait to see the next picture... but how about making a nice fly reel?  I volunteer to test it out for you.

Good luck

PS, whats the story behind building one?  Are you an aspiring machinist combined with a crazy fisher?

shouldn't you drill all your holes for reel seat and clicker before anodizing??? If you don't there is really no point in anodizing at all. except for looks.

i got the clicker and i am just have to make the spool so i can mount it properly. then i will think of idozing it or i will polish it and clear coat it.

I am still lokking for some bearng tho :-\but my dad said he might be able to get it from his work or order some stainless bearing

Outta curiousity, how much does that first piece (presumably the backplate) weigh?

Keep up the good work.
