The "soon" to be in my possession reel does have a name. This is the medallion that will grace the presentation box that the reel comes in.

The pictures of the big tomatoes were from two seasons ago, I couldn't find the ones of last year and forgot to edit. They're always about the same anyway.

Thank fully it appears our cooler weather is coming sooner. It's 2:00 pm at the time of this picture, It has clouded over and and a nice cool breeze and about 9-10 degrees cooler. Doesn't sound like much but it sure makes a difference. It's finally bearable. A little better picture of the tomato plants with a Nikon rather than the Canon, a little closer up to so there are a couple missing. A few pictures of some of last years crop. The plants will grow to be 9ft tall and I get fruits up to 3.5lbs a piece. Low in acid, very few seeds and very big tomato flavor.

More progress today. The reel seat has been mortised and the hardware has been glued on and it's now clamped until tomorrow while the glue sets. I also finished up the final shaping of the fore grip and inserted a matching insert to the butt cap.

I saw one of those in my garden last year for the first time. Freaked me out a bit for sure. I dang well stayed clear of it. Harmless or not, big spiders are kinda gross (in my opinion...there may be some weirdos out there who are enthralled by them)
