Hi folks. My wife went to a sewing club on Monday evening, and took some of my paltry offerings to show / sell... She sold a dibber for me, and many a laugh was had (by the all lady group), about the phallic mushrooms I made...
She was asked by the lady in charge whether I did any other types of woodwork (!), and could I make a lace bobbin winder? Having then spent a while taking 20 photo's on her phone, and talking to me, I made a start on some pine lying around in the shop last night, just roughing out pulleys / handles etc. I've been to hers tonight, and the list of things required by lace makers has increased:-
Winders;
Bobbins;
"Lazy-susans";
Prickers;
Lace holders (a large cotton reel);
and.... she'll think of something else...
So, when I get chance to finish a 'proper' one, I'll take a picture, some (most) parts of the winders are turned, with a bit of (cough, spit) plank work too. Wish me luck - the bobbins can be 110mm long, with a neck 3mm diameter, 19mm long... EEK!
