So this is a small scarborough style reel that I developed. I stumbled accross the Scarborough style while researching Alvey reels. The style appealed to me immediately, so i made one. How to make Plastics -print files as attached -Plastic used is ABS and has been polish with acetone vapours -A housing has been included for a 15x6x5mm bearing on both side. Timber -The timber was recycled from out floorboards in a scrap yard. -The timber was laser cut (still looking for the files to upload). If you don't have a laser they can easily be cut with traditional tools. -Timber finished with wattyl 7008 2 pack high gloss estipol (Super water resistant) but any estipol should be fine. -Plastic and timber were joined with a 2 pack adhesive and hand sanded (don't forget to put the bearing in before you glue the timber cap over it). Stainless steel -I made a mould for the reel seat and pressed some scrap steel over it in a 6 Ton press. -The arm is also scrap steel and was bent on a pan brake and spot welded to the real seat. -I tapped the arm with a M6x1 Tap to allow me to double bolt the middle pin to allow the reel to spin freely. Handle -Are also glued into place with 2 pack adhesive which allows them to spin freely.
