Well, I'll make a long story short ... I ordered one of Faruk's bobbins at the end of June and apparently the US Post Office lost it. I emailed Faruk last week to see if he could track it down and he did one better, he sent another one to me using a different carrier, no questions asked. I received the new bobbin yesterday and used it for the first time tonight ... it was well worth the wait, simple and ingenious. It will definitely improve my efficiency at the vise. Kudos to Faruk for a great product and great service. As for the US Postal Service, that's for another thread ...
