Thats' very nice, I'm glad the CMM doesn't make lace if you need that many of the same thing.

It's lovely do they have to be identical as when I have seen them they always seem to be different patterns?

They normally want them in pairs and they are very fussy about the dimensions I think I still have two left from when I used to make them are you going to dress them with beads as well

Wife's doing the beads, You are right, they re normally in pairs. Sister to this being done tomorrow, then slightly different for each pair afterwards and in different woods.

They are good training for spindle work and new shapes loads of coves and beads enjoy doing them when you have finished the last one compare it with your first one and see how much you will have come on I used to make bobbin carousal's as well and a friend of mine made bobbin winders

Good job. There is a book about Lace Bobbins, it is called "Turning Lace Bobbins by David Springtett". Not the book I would normally buy but it came in a job lot of turning books I got 8 books and 2 videos for £25 which I thought was a good price.

Do you have a picture of the carousel, I think I have seen them, but not too sure.

There the same as an earring carousel just with bigger holes and slots and with a foot rather than a tray

Nicely done. Got rid of the last of mine not so long ago, the person that had them now wants drop spindles making.

Thanks for the compliment Peter, Did you turn your other half's bobbins? Bet you were gutted if you did.
