I have been ask to turn some drop splindles and lace bobbins and the closest thing that I know about them is I droped a spindle on the floor and it broke in half. I have seen a picture of a lace bobbin before but no idea on the actual size of them except for a guess and the drop splindles I dont have a clue what they are. Since you folks seem to know something about everthing I fugured this would be a good place to start my search. Any and all info appericated
