I started machining "trout size" fly reels about 5 years ago. Didn't find Hobby-Machinist until last week, so I have re-invented the wheel many times. All my work is documented in a blog, northbranchreels dot com. There are more than 200 posts in the blog, so navigate it for topics of interest by using the clickable "Categories" list on the right side of the main page.
In the blog are complete plan sets for a couple reel designs, and other plan sets can be purchased from reellinespress dot com.
Most of my work has been done with a Sherline lathe and mill, which are only marginally large enough. This year I replaced the mill with a LMS HiTorque MiniMill.
