AndrewWR Report post Posted February 13, 2022 Beautifully crafted and eminently practical. The same moulding, filled with shot would make fine weights for holding patterns down too. I love the punch-work. Its like brogue got an upgrade. Stay Safe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These weights can be used for anything in your shop, including holding patterns and rulers etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually thought they were needle cushions because I've seen something similar, though not so proficiently made, used to store needles but it was just a lump of wadding inside and not very heavy. You've got me thinking now. I'll have to check what offcuts of wood I have that I can route a former out of to try that. Thank you for the inspiration.

immiketoo Report post Posted February 14, 2022 Nah you aren’t dumb. I’ve seen some of those needle thingies and I can see why you might think it. I never had a use for them. I just stick all my needles to a neodymium magnet on my bench. Don’t have room or a need for a fancy needle holder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, the soft bags are more useful in some situations. It’s nice to have both. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
