Thanks grumpy, will have a go with the stillson and see if I can get it off!
As Im planning on a restoration I am looking at painting the reel, should I do this before the sharpening and straightening. My concern is the process will remove the paint and painting will effect the sharpness....
The reel is black, should that be the colour scheme? Is there any reference for colour schemes to keep original. I really (reelly) like the orange colour however.
