I attempted to turn a reel seat utilizing the router method, but the results were less than satisfactory. It ultimately ended up being a waste of my time. I purchased a rather informative instructional DVD called The Wood Lathe in Rodbulding that explains how to turn a reel seat, grip, etc. Maybe, there will be a Jet Mini or PSI Turncrafter Pro being bought in my very near future because that seems to be the only way to really produce a quality end result.
