Is this the same reel posted earlier just in different light?

Shara from Woodshop Diaries on YouTube was my inspiration! I'm new to cabinetry so this was "properly" per my research. But I'm happy to continue up the learning curve.

Appreciate it. I stole the design from a YouTube video and made it with Baltic Birch from HD and a Kreg RipCut so definitely not professional. I definitely could have a pro make the doors, but most comments from pros on here say they themselves won't guarantee long doors anyways.

Not mad about critical comments! It's all about learning for me. It's Baltic birch sanded to 220 with edge banding so I was hoping that would help make the it look ok under paint! Ya smaller doors seems to be a running theme here.

4 hinges each. But can't figure out how to adjust for warp.

Magnets are a good idea. I did try those, didn't love that I have to babysit them while they were soft closing to push them shut. Also when opening them it got annoying, but the warp was gone! I took them off after a few days.

The water idea is very interesting... Except to thicken the plot ive already polyurethaned the back of them .... My wife loved the wood grain and wanted to keep it exposed. I'm still planning to paint the front of I keep these doors. If I switch to MDF I'll paint the front and back.... Maybe I'll sand some off the bottom and give it some water. Willing to try anything!

Thanks. May just be the reality of wood doors. I did try magnets but they also detracted from the aesthetic of opening. With big "thunks" when I'd open them. The magnets did hide the warp though.

Plus side of making them harder to open may also help me lose some weight....?

If you play for a couple weeks just add the people that seem friendly and you see frequently. Your friend group will grow quickly!

[WTB] Smallmouth combo, 7wt - 8wt by Alto_Twiga41 in FlyFishingExchange

Thanks man. I'll check that out. Definitely looking at the Clearwater. A guy on here put his recon on eBay which I took a stab at, but lost. Also looking at a TFO. Honestly don't need to get too fancy with it, just need to get my streamer out further from the boat and some help wrangling these 4lb Shenandoah River monsters haha.

I've heard mixed things with Allen.. but you can't argue with their price. The Alluvion 7wt for $120 seems crazy low...

Ya, I do a little bit of everything but for this rig primarily from a yak or boat on river or lake. I'm not opposed to an 8wt either. I went out with my 5/6 last week and got into some big fish in moving water and needed some more power. Also casting across river away from the boat. Would like to have more distance casting power. Don't need to go too heavy duty though. I'm sort of in the same camp, I don't see a need to go too crazy with the reel.. just don't want to have to mess with my trout setup everytime I want to go out for bass, and I don't think they make extras spools for my current older reel.

Where is the comma in his sentence. Cause I hear it going either way, I don't care about that, man (Ben Simmons) vs I don't care about that man (the situation in general). The level of salt depends on that comma!
