    Default So what do you do with two empty line spools?

    You turn them into a tieing tool sorter

    this tool sorter/holder is very easy to make all you need is two empty line pools some plastic tubing and a hole reamer or drill.

    Parts needed
    used mono spool 1" 1/2 inch or 2" tall
    an octagnal flyline spool that seperates into two halves
    one oriero to go contaner
    a pack of plastic tubing that fits the tips of the bobbins and the bodkin. ( most hobbie stores sell them in a varity pack)

    tools needed

    exato knife
    model airplane prop reamer (sold at hobbie shops) or drill
    glue

    1. one eat orieos and remove lable and rince
    2. take fliline spool and match the bottem or the cup to the smaller side of the flyline spool.
    3. glue the mono spool non sectioned side down centered onto the upper half of the flyline spool and while it dries plan out how you would like the layout to be.
    4 take the largest plastic tube that fits your bobbin tips and cut so their 1/4" over the top of the mono spool allowing the bottems to sit on the lower lip of the mono spool.
    5. take the reamer and slowly create the holes for the tubes in the mono spool turning the reamer slowly. till the tube fits snuggly. insert and glue only the bottems
    6. center and glue the upper half of the now dry top of the stand to the top of the cup.
    7. once everything is dry plan out and begin to create the holes for your hanging tools. ( sissors, dubbing brush and what ever elce.)
    8. once everthing is dry place in your tools. if you wand glue some cork or felf to the underside of the bace.

    the sectioned underside of the mono spool is great for holding small items like hair stacker, heckle pliers ect.

    the hight allows tools to hang freely with out damaging their tips. and allows for long items to touch the botttem and be held in place by whatever you wish.
