so tempting to go into whingeing pom mode...

G'Day Graham

Welcome aboard look forward to seeing more of your work ,hell of a watch!

Cheers

Toni, thanks, I use various diameters of silver steel or piano wire with the tip ground similar to a skewchigouge/spindlemaster... me parting off tool is an old artist's palette knife ground across at an angle...plus I use a 1mm skew for the mini bobbins :cool:

I recently made one of Bill Jones' small tools, 1/16 round nose, in his book(s) (Notes from the Turning Shop) promises to be a good'un....

Bernie thanks and thanks again for helping me aboard...

OK, OK, you've left us hanging for long enough. :~

The URL to your website is..???



(It needs some closeups of your lace bobbins, BTW. :wink: How can I pinch ideas if I can't see 'em? :innocent:)

Yep I agree with Skew. Needed a close up of the lace bobbins. I went nearly cross eyed looking at them. Trying to see how to do them

I know mate, but I just thought I'd see about dragging it out of the closet. :wink:

At first glance at the bobbins it looks most of them are midlands style, but I think I can see a honiton or continental or two. Dunno... too hard to tell. Graham? Care to illuminate us?

Yep, they're all midlands types... quite right, I need more pix of bobbins...

The pic of the lace pillow shows some of Satnex2's bobbins... not all of them mine :no: (dates back to when she had to buy them, now she just half inches the ones she likes... she's quality control so I don't argue:B

'Tom's bobbin' was a quickie I did for Tom when he was visiting the UK... it's a bit rough 'cos I didn't bother to sand and finish it.

Check out this one for lace bobbin making info
http://www.davidspringett.fws1.com/ I use a different hold method to the one described in his book (Making Lace Bobbins) but the basic designs are pretty universal.
