Title: Just a wonderful little object.

Vaughan kindly made me a bobin holder. A thing of beauty.

Thanks Vaughan and another example of how good this forum is.

I can turn a few more of these if some folks would like one. The one for Paul has 13 holes, outer ring with 8 inner ring of 4 and 1 in the centre. Robbie has a smaller one with two rings of 4 and a centre hole gives 9.
Donation to the forum of £5 and send me a PM of your name and address. Your donations will be in place of some from me but I will pay the postage to you so I will have an outlay also. Tell me the type you want and if you prefer a shiny finish or a matt oiled finish. Paul's is matt which tends to be darker.
They will all be a wee bit different and do not put them in a hot place or the wood may crack ss it will have come out my "workshop" in the garage which is not as dry as indoors.

That's a very kind offer Vaughan. I would love one like Pauls so what about I transfer you a tenner to your account and you can take the postage cost from that and donate the rest ?
Cheers
Jim
