Spool Carousle

[Professor]

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.

Very nice indeed. What did you use (and where did you find) to allow the top section to rotate? Very well thought out design.

I see one big problem with it, now I am going to have go to my R&D department and build me one. R&D (Rob and Duplicate)

Very nice wood work. I second REE's question on how and where did you get the revolving apperatus for the spool holders?
I like.

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.
