Step 4Making a crank
now if you have tried this and filled up a reel with fishing line i bet you fingers are tired by now so rest em up and then come back and try putting a crank on it.
its pretty easy to do.
just take a small nail ,
bore a couple of holes through the end of the reel that sticks out of the case{i used a jewelers file for it but the nail itself will bore the hole try chucking it in you cordless drill}.
keep the holes level with each other.
pass the nail through and with pliers {more than one pair if you want to do it right} bend the nail up 90degrees then clip off the pointy bit {file the edges}.
if youre real good get out your miniature anvil and peen the end of the nail over a bead to form a spinning knob i dare ya.
and there you are a nice crank and if you bent it in the right place it will fold up tight against the case so the whole thing can fit in the plastic film can.
