Just got back onto the lists after being away for a while and can answer this one. I have many square beads made with a glass makers file produced by Tuffnell Glass. Strange as I have just got down at the weekend my boxes with my spare lacemaking bits in them (usually stored in the loft) and was looking at a handblown Xmas ornament kit I bought from them back in 2005. They are still on the web at http://www.tuffnellglass.com/ but I can't see any square cuts. L

To: lace@arachne.com Date: Sunday, 23 January, 2011, 4:38 I have started writing the article on restoration of lace bobbins, and have started with the spangle, being the most frequent restoration that is undertaken. Most historical beads are produced by modern bead makers, but I do not know if I have ever seen modern "square cuts" with the file indentations on them. Have you? Are they around? If so where?
