I can not fathom what you possibly paid for steel I-beams with the going Covid rates for building materials. Hopefully you had them stashed away knowing what you have accumulated for reels.

#11Very nice! Not much use having a collection that you can’t see and enjoy and that display certainly makes them enjoyable!

#14Very nice display, great light too. There's an odd, manly comfort looking at your assembled reels...or mebbe it's just the lust of the collector that thrills me. Anyways, great job.
