If you search under "bobbin lace" and scroll about half way down that page you will see the hackle plier made into a bobbin with Corian. I missed the .com off the address, it should be www.etsy.com http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_query=bobbin+lace&search_type=handmade

Do you think you might have some other contact information for him? I bought a swivel hackle from a fishing outfit, and one of my ferrets promptly stole it and I haven't seen it since (and I've looked!). Rather than buy another fishing hackle pliers, I'd rather buy a couple of bobbin-handled ones from Richard Worthen, if I can find him on-line or contact info for him. Thanks!

However, I suggest that you refer them to Janice's information on Richard Worthen, and once they see what the swivel-hackle looks like, it's relatively easy to find a UK bobbin-maker to make the conversion.
