[Lord Nibbo]

Using up some offcuts I've banged this object up.

It's not far off being complete, what is it? or what is it for?

Stick a round top on it and it could be a lazy susan? I assume the top spins round the base....

I'll post another pic later which may give a clue, but for now all I'll say it is a tool :lol:

 

[DomValente]

Anything to do with,crochet, tatting, wool ?

 

[Alf]

Wool winder?

Cheers, Alf

 

[promhandicam]

I think it's for placing work on for finishing so you can turn the work round and you don't have to keep getting up. Steve

 

[Lord Nibbo]

Wool winder?

Cheers, Alf

Ah! Now I'm gonna wind you up :lol: I want it's proper name.

Here's another pic of it finished.

 

[promhandicam]

It's a modified ashford skeiner, I think :shock:

Steve

 

[Alf]

It's proper name?! It's a wool winder! I thought that was its proper name :lol:

 

[Lord Nibbo]

It's a modified ashford skeiner, I think :shock:

Steve

Dunno about Ashford but it was skein that I was looking for, so the answer is

A wool Skein holder. :lol:

I wonder what we can knock up for next week?

 

[Lord Nibbo]

It's proper name?! It's a wool winder! I thought that was its proper name :lol:

"A wool winder" No thats someone who makes sheep angry in wales ennit, :lol: usually wears wellies. :lol:

 

[Alf]

I think someone who makes sheep angry in Wales is probably called something else altogether - if stereotype is to be believed...

Not that I believe stereotypes, natch. But I can't stop - got ships to wreck. :roll:

Cheers, Alf

 

[promhandicam]

I thought 'modified ashford' skeiner as it rotates horizontally rather than vertically - perhaps you should patent it as the Lord Nibbo Skeiner :lol:

Here is the Ashford version

My father in law used to occasionally suffer bouts of malaria, a legacy from WW2. Do you have it crop up often Steve?

 

[promhandicam]

Not that often thankfully. Because I travel alot, and mossys are different from place to place I do take a malaria prophylaxis so when I do get a bout it isn't too bad. Still knocks me out for a few days though. Have a good weekend, Steve
