    All these tools are very nice. I would really like to know how you made the bobbins. Could you post a description?
    Thanks,
    Ted

    Ted, I carved out the first 2 the hard way . Years later I made a template and used a router to do the most part. I was inspired by the old Chase bobbin. I used brass tubing from Ace hardware and glued a glass bead in the tip to make them ceramic. All were made of walnut except one maple. Pat

    Pat,
    Thanks for describing how you make the bobbins. I may try to make one this winter.

    Ted, there is nothing difficult as you can see from the close up, just takes some time. Using the router I made 6 in less time than it took to make the first 2. Thanks for your comments!

    For stainless wire go to the $ store and get a wisk (for whipping eggs and other. Or use a bicycle spoke for a stronger one. A little glass bead ( Walmart) glued in the tip would help also
