Spool Carousle
Here are a few pics of a new spool carousle that I dessigned and built. They hold 82 spools, plus there is room for a few attachements on the top.
I have made 5 so far, gave two to a couple of friends that I taught how to tie whom graduated from the All Thumbs Fly Tying Class, and the next 2 are for a couple of guys that are retiring after 35+ years in education.
They look really nice. Good job.

Nice work Prof. I like the bobbin holes on top. Good thinking. Jim
I'm either going to, coming from or thinking about fishing. Jim
Very nice!

Enjoying the joys of others and suffering with them- these are the best guides for man. A.E.
Very, very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice indeed. What did you use (and where did you find) to allow the top section to rotate? Very well thought out design.
Happiness is wading boots that never have a chance to dry out.
The revolving base is a 4 x 4 lazy susan carousel that I buy at the local hardware store. It cost around $5.00.
FYI -- This is where I get the lazy susans i've used to build several fly tying carousel items. The 3" & 4" are perfect for these types of projects.

Professor,
Very impressive! Compact, yet efficient. I like that you utilized the top as well.
Trout don't speak Latin.
Ah! That clears it up. An Incra Jig would probably be overkill. Sounds like an accurate layout works just fine.
Your project really makes me want to get back out to the shop. You can see some of my woodworking here :
