It makes a bobbin when you screw a big screw in, perhaps not the best bobbin but when you have nothing else to play around with it probably will do. I haven't tried it out myself although it is on my list of "to try.."
I once bought a cheap pair of "steel bobbins" that, when they arrived, turned out to be huge scaffold nails! I just naturally rushed to the hardware store to get more, but that store didn't have them that big and I'd want them cleaned up on a lathe before using them with thread suited to the sizes they did carry. (The huge ones were for #10 thread.) What my hardware store calls "scaffold nails" are nails intended to be easy to pull out: they have a double head to make sure you can get hold of them with your claw hammer, so they look like a tiny spool on a stick. -- Joy Beeson http://joybeeson.home.comcast.net/ http://roughsewing.home.comcast.net/ http://n3f.home.comcast.net/ -- Writers' Exchange west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where summer has ended but the leaves are nearly all green. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
