Hockeymender Posted April 1, 2019 Report Posted April 1, 2019 Would really like one of these, if they are available. Wondering if it’s something Rolls Royce had special made? Quote Regards, Joe Esposito www.hockeymenders.com instragram: @hockeymenders.com
Members Matt S Posted April 1, 2019 Members Report Posted April 1, 2019 That's pretty cool, and doesn't look like it'd be difficult to replicate with basic tools. I wonder if those rods across the top are notched deliberately or if that's from wear over time. Quote
kgg Posted April 1, 2019 Report Posted April 1, 2019 It looks like they are holes to allow the thread to come straight up off the spools. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
mikesc Posted April 1, 2019 Report Posted April 1, 2019 Dust / dirt trap..unless you are using a lot of each colour thread daily..dusty /dirty thread is not good.. Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" .. ( Don Henley and "some French painter in a field" )

My machine / thread is covered with clear plastic when not in use Looks like easy enough to make with a piece of plywood and some light dowels ... Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members jimi Posted April 1, 2019 Members Report Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) I have something similar that i made from some aluminium rod and a few stationary type trays i had for years lying around in a bag. the top of the rod has a saw cut, then splayed opened slightly to stop it from falling through.

mikesc Posted April 1, 2019 Report Posted April 1, 2019 My machine / thread is covered with clear plastic when not in use ;) My machines and thread is / are covered too..thread cones are even covered in use.. Looks like Jimi's are too.. :).. I agree the design in the OP is simple..quick to make in wood or aluminium ( note the second i ;) or plastic , or a combination of all three.. But .."it" needs a "tweak" ..the thread spools need covering.. Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" .. ( Don Henley and "some French painter in a field" )
