kemper Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Batson hardware, Chris? I'm trying to find a source for some anodized hardware, I know Ernie gets it but a little pricey for me...
Spiel Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Posted December 22, 2012 Batson hardware, Chris? I'm trying to find a source for some anodized hardware, I know Ernie gets it but a little pricey for me... Yes Sir, Titanuim anodized Batson, 8.5.
kemper Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Used a CA finish on this stuff, but less coats and polishing because I didn't want the mirror shine
DRIFTER_016 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Just brought home a new toy for my shop.
kickingfrog Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) Just brought home a new toy for my shop. Looks a little different then the one I used in shop class. Edited December 22, 2012 by kickingfrog
Spiel Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Posted December 22, 2012 Just brought home a new toy for my shop. Isn't that the one you got several months back or is it another one?
DRIFTER_016 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Isn't that the one you got several months back or is it another one? Same one, just finally got it home. It's been at work since I got it because I was renovating @ home and had nowhere to put it. Still not done with the renos but the shop area should be done next week.

Spiel Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Posted December 23, 2012 Well the glue was dry this morning so I now have the matching butt caps.
kemper Posted December 23, 2012 Report Posted December 23, 2012 Well the glue was dry this morning so I now have the matching butt caps. Gorgeous. Struble hardware on the middle one?
Spiel Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Posted December 23, 2012 Gorgeous. Struble hardware on the middle one? Thanks Brady, yes Struble on the middle one for effect only.
spinnerdoc Posted December 23, 2012 Report Posted December 23, 2012 I had a bunch of wood come in yesterday and I've been busy turning it from square blocks to round. They're a long way away from being reel seats at this point but boy oh boy, they're some real nice pieces of wood. They start as 1.5" X 1.5" as seen here..... Two long pieces that'll make many seats. The top is Padauk and the bottom is Bocote. These are stabilized, Spalted Big Leaf Maple, very nice. Again stabilized Big Leaf Maple, this time burl the bottom one is green dyed and will be on ChrisK's new rod. Not much to look at yet but once they are shaped, finished and polished they'll be gorgeous! Those are some nice looking wood Chris, I esp. like the square blanks I'm sure you'll make excellent work out of em.
ChrisK Posted December 23, 2012 Report Posted December 23, 2012 The green one on the bottom is mine I know it looks blue but it will be green when its done like this one
Spiel Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Posted December 24, 2012 One more just for you Albert (HTHM). It's Cherry, not overly exotic but it's real nice and will look sweet on the right fly rod. It came in a box of assorted hard woods from Aplumma (thanks again Art ) and it's the first one I've turned from a very large selection sent.
