[lace] Re; Lace pillow stand

Hi Arachnids,

The stand I use was made by Brian Goodwin.  http://www.briangoodwin.co.uk/
He also makes other lace accessories as well as bits for dolls’ houses. It
is completely height and angle adjustable and one can get different sizes tops
to go on the same stand. The top comes off and flat packs while the legs
unscrew to leave the central column as the largest item. I made a bag for it
which is about 15 cms round with two pockets for bits. This can hang on a
strap from the shoulder. My pillow bag and folding chair (canvas and
aluminium) go in one hand my walking stick in the other. As I cannot carry
much weight –bad back- everything has to be light weight.

I also have a Spanish stand which is completely height adjustable and has a
tilt-able and adjustable for pillow size top. This can be replaced by a top
for a bolster type pillow which also flat-packs. I cannot remember the name of
the firm I bought it from, but they were at the Christmas Lace Fair in
Birmingham in either 2004 and/or 2005. A useful, sturdy pillow stand, but not
as well finished as Brian Goodwin’s and really too heavy to cart around.

No affiliation to either firm, just a happy customer.

Happy lace making,

Joepie.

Yes, she is; making tools for her was Kenn's initial spur. He learnt 
to make lace to get a better idea of what worked and why.

When someone actually finds a carpenter willing to try, I could disassemble
mine and measure the pieces...

 And just a note, from long experience, the postal service is the far better
 choice when posting to Canda. UPS is intolerable, Fed Ex the better
 alternative.
