Yeah John, I've become quite fond of ball handle reels over for the past few years. Being from southern california, you probably know where most of those polished reels came from.

After removing the protective varnish, they are starting to dull. The spool on the guthrie reel is darkening quick. It must not have received a thorough buffing.

Have you had any troubles viewing the content? It works better with the Firefox browser. Internet explorer (at least version 7)doesn't shrink the images to fit in the frame. Firefox lets you view the whole image and then click for more detail.

I'm also not sure how to accommodate different size monitors. It fills the screen on my home computer but it could be about 30% wider on my laptop.

I know I should buy a good Web design tool like Microsoft Front Page but that's money I could use to buy a sweet reel.

Hey Jason -- Your website looks great with Internet Explorer 8. The page size is fine, and wouldn't mess with it, if it were mine. Dang! I'm a poet, and didn't know it. On my 22 in. LCD the page doesn't fill the entire screen even on maximize, but it doesn't need to. I'm able to view the whole image, and then click for more detail. Good work - David

Jason, I use Firefox, too, and each page covers about half my screen, whose resolution is set at 1920w x 1080h pixels. If your resolution width is set at, say, 1024, your page would fill the screen. People can enlarge stuff by changing their monitor resolution or by right-clicking on a pic, then selecting "open link in new tab."

To force these pages to adapt themselves to each individual monitor requires serious messing with the html code and probably wouldn't be worth the hassle.
