Making Lace Bobbins Stuart King 19 mins 

I’m so glad I found my way to this video.

Thank you for an interesting video, as a life-long lacemaker it is lovely to see another vein of related craftsmanship. Really interested to know about the bow lathe and the indentations, as many of my 'thumpers' are like this, and I'd wondered why. Spotty bobbins - the South Bucks 'thumper' that you showed is known as a 'plum pudding,' not a leopard, those are the East Midlands spangled bobbins with pewter spots. Lots of lovely names for different bobbin decorations exist as I am sure you know.

As a hobby turner using an electric lathe, I really admire your skill on the bow lathe.😀🇬🇧

Hi Stuart, great to see your choice of tools. As always no shortage of skill. rekindles old memories. Thanks.

Amazing. Something I have learnt which did not know existed.

Beautiful work.

Such beautiful work! Thank you for sharing!!

Amazing work! thanks for sharing. Cheers from Uruguay.

Once again, thanks for the in depth look at yet another aspect of turning.

Beautifull

Thanks a lot for that fantastic insights in the craft and its heritage. Pewter rings were applied - as i read in some woodturning book edited back in the gdr - to taller objects such as cups by simply pressing a piece of pewter in some groove on the turning wood. It would melt. Also simply soldering an open pewter ring around the wood using frictional heat should work. Old days pewter had lots of lead mixed in - it did melt much earlier...

I wonder if the pewter rings were done similarly to the captive ring - where the ring was put on before turning the wood away underneath it
