It has been so long since I have done any woodwork I don't suppose anyone here remembers me!
I stopped turning when my mum died and we moved to the Sunshine Coast - sold my lathe and tools (silly me!)
Now I've taken up spinning wool instead of timber.
I bought a beautiful old wheel made by a master craftsman. It has a lovely history behind it, but one of the not so nice things is all the spare bobbins were stolen during a garage sale.
I have the one bobbin that was on the wheel at the time. I know of people interstate who would make a few new bobbins, but I'm not real keen on sending my one and only bobbin away in the post. I'm hoping there would be someone on the Sunshine Coast (I'm at Golden Beach) who would be interested in a slightly out of the ordinary challenge.
Of course I'm more then happy to pay or swap or beer or whatever. ;)
I'll put up a photo of the pretty wheel for you to drool over - the timberwork is wonderful!
