I would think that if you added something fitted over the pointed ends it might work as one end is spring loaded. I've decided not to be fascinated by bobbin winders. At Christchurch Lace Day on Saturday there was a second hand metal bobbin winder rather like the Newnham nylon one for sale, and I was showing a lady (who didn't know how it worked) how you squeezed the jaws open, and how it was too stiff for me to operate properly. The jaws snapped shut, catching a bit of the tip of my finger, and I bled profusely, which just proved the point that it wasn't suitable for me!
