I used to make bobbins for her to sell on her website

Huh I was asked about exactly this the other day. Another hobby she has is glass fusing and bead making; apparently spangled lace bobbins fetch a high price these days, so if I could produce the bobbin she'd do the rest.

Obviously my cutting experience is very limited with my original conversion not really even coping with soft woods (it was an old scanning water phantom, so very weak). I guess it could be done by just flipping the work, but I did wonder if it was a 4th axis job. Would love to hear more about your method? Did you CNC them or just manually turn them?

Could be worse I suppose. At least we've never had any of those nasty, smelly, expensive child things.

Hah.
