Leszek, your patience is second to none and your attention to detail is just unbelievable.

Thank you for the update and as always, I am already looking forward to the next installment.

Stunning! You have certainly been busy since I saw you at the beginning of the month!

My wife caught me sighing at this image, and asked me what was wrong.

That ventilated arbor ( no more kinked line), the bronze spindle, those perfectly engineered spokes ...

No, nothing was wrong at all.

This leaves me staggered. Such craftsmanship is beyond my comprehension.
Thank you for sharing so much of the process with us Leszek!
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Very nice, I wonder how much will it weigh when completed and what the handles will be made from buffalo horn something nice, can't wait to see the finished reel.
