[lace] Winding Idrija Bobbins
i have a small - not very powerful - rechargeable drill. i got this for $10 at Walmart. it is light weight and not very large. it serves as a regular tool for drilling and using as an electric screwdriver as well. but it can travel with you if you might need to wind more away from home. it turns both ways so bobbins can be wound either way. you just put the body of the bobbin into the area where a drill bit or screwdriver bit would go. be careful not to tighten too much so you don't mar the bobbin. i have unspangled midland bobbins if i plan to use a lot of them. but it is possible with care to just nip the end below the holes for the spangle too. it also restores the wire wear and tear if i do change the spangle. anyway, any continental bobbin fits - Danish are tricky and not all work. you can go slower than with the regular power tool. but the more heavy duty power tool works as well but turns faster so is not controlled as well. you can do bursts as well. i am more a continual slow wind. enjoy.
