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.
