Does any one know where I can get kits to make wooden plumb bobs and pendulms?

Surely all you'd need is a small eye-hook from your rearest hardware store? And maybe a small brad in the bottom to reduce wear? :confused:

Or do you have some specific kit in mind?

Thanks Skew ChiDAMN
I agree that an eye hook and a brad will do. But I have seen wooden Plumb Bobs made fron a kit with a brass insert and gold plated pointy end and gold plated top the kit is made up similar to the pen kits in that the work is turned on a mandrill. All up they looked spiffo and set the wood off nicely, I was wondering If any one knew about them or where to get them.

Nice kit!

Phil, if you find a more local supplier Phil in your search, could you post the info here?

A few of those'd spruce up the chrissy tree nicely...
