Very nice!
Make more spool holders. You will want more! Trust me!

I have two spool holders in my case. I am using a golden rod in there too to keep my nylon and everything else dry.

Hey dubbs, looks good and I like that you are adding a switch to the encasement.  Always found it a pain in the tail to unplug the 'doodle when it was done.  Looking forward to seeing it finished!

Yeah it will take it a while to dry it up, just be sure to add oil from time to time so it
doesn't cause you grief later on.

It's not the heat that's the issue it's the golden rod that absorbs moisture
that will cause the oil to dry
