In this project, Teknatool shows us a picture of a hand casting fishing reel which would be great for young children. They also give us a sequence of operations to turn this project and provide some ideas for alternative designs.
Mike Darlow has published a series of wonderful turning books. They are mostly educationally-based and are one of the best resources available for turners. In them, Mike shows how to make this fishing reel.
This fishing reel is a self-contained fishing setup so no pole is required. This would be wonderful for fishing in the local pond or stream. With it's small size, it would work well as a in-car or in-backpack unit.
The project is well detailed and has good pictures of the turning so it should be easy to make this 4-piece fishing reel. We hope that you will give it a try!
