    Default Needle cases

    Had a little shed time to spare so made some more magnetic needle cases.
    They have a rare earth magnet in the base cap allowing easy pick-up of needles/pins. Also good for storage of toothpicks, medicine tablets or hiding the odd bank note.

    Looking good!

    A few years back I made a few batches - although w/out the magnetic pick-up - and the gals at our local handcrafts group bought them out in short order. I did get a few requests for different lengths, but it's easy enough to mix'n'match tubes.

    Pop's Shed in Vic is my goto when looking for odd kits. If they don't carry them, I found they'll go out of their way to get them in.

    I've no affiliation with 'em... just happy with their service.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
