Thanks Gents i am happy you like the job. now i look for a new wreck to deal with :-)
I'm in dire need of some restoration, possibly a complete rebuild, but I think I'm beyond even your powers.
A few months ago I posted pictures of a similar reel I bought,

Wow. Lovely job Sir. I have never tackled such a wreck. It's a wonder it didn't end up in the bin. It will be a fantastic reel when your finished.
