No we didn't know about the purple heart emitting a toxic gas, it is a new wood to us, the "thumb chap" did say it changed colour though. Wow thanks for this very useful info.<br /><br />Kathy there is indeed a bit of drama connected with the making of these shuttles! Oh yea I hope he doesn't get too overwelhmed with the demand. Also after hearing about the man loosing his thumb I did then begin to see there was a danger in all this, yes thanks for the warningSally Kersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689082516157330679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-72089854313833154412010-02-26T04:04:43.596+00:002010-02-26T04:04:43.596+00:00Wow - what a story - or two, or three!!!

Quite a bit of drama going on at your house! <br /><br />I truly don't know how your husband is going to keep up with the demand! Just seeing that stack of wood (beautiful as it is!) would have me running for the hills - although he'd probably look for more wood there!! Seeing the delight and excitement about all this has to be very satisfying! It's a winner!!! However, tell him to PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-40778246944095472712010-02-26T01:58:34.426+00:002010-02-26T01:58:34.426+00:00JUST wanted you and Nick to know that I love my Ch...JUST wanted you and Nick to know that I love my Cherry shuttle and will be on the list for both a purple heart and a ebony.<br />BTW, I'm sure "im n the garage" knows this, but purple heart emits a toxic gas when worked with (in wood making) and one needs to be sure to wear a mask when working with it. My SILove is a master wood worker, also; so he wears his mask (I nattered at him!) when he makes bird's houses from it!<br />My two favorite features of the Pop a Bobbin are: The tension is so consistent; and it is so easy to use and not "fiddly" to fill the bobbin and insert it in the shuttle.<br />Thank you so much!

I was one of the lucky few to buy a pop-a-bobbin shuttle from Jane's Etsy shop (Cherry), and, although I haven't had much tat time this week sadly, I love this shuttle. <br /><br />The bobbin is easy to remove with the lovely little tool provided, and yet the bobbin is secure enough once assembled not to allow the thread to unwind when dropped. It is the perfect size for my hand, and it is cute to boot.<br /><br />Sally, I think you will need a waiting list once word gets around!! If you do make a list make sure to put me on it for an Ebony and Purple Heart pair:-)Dale Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06321284589699806365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-15582714924270851122010-02-25T20:24:15.900+00:002010-02-25T20:24:15.900+00:00Actually you are right Bonnie the hard part is goi...Actually you are right Bonnie the hard part is going to choose which wood!<br />Diane - I do hope you will be pleased with your cherry shuttle.<br />Yes Carol things are a bit busy here - Kathy did mention those shuttles, and they are very similar to the ones we are making, I think!<br />Isdihara I've been in the garage and the wood is actually cherry, never seen such a pink coloured cherry wood before, can't wait to see it made into a shuttle.<br />Marty I totally agree with you the smell of wood being worked is wonderfullSally Kersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689082516157330679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-54590595742810160072010-02-25T16:18:45.345+00:002010-02-25T16:18:45.345+00:00How beautiful!

Your shuttles are very interesting. When I first started tatting in 1989 I bought a wooden shuttle with a plastic bobbin in the center and it had a metal center to hold the bobbin in. The peg to push out the metal center was a crochet hook with the end cut off. I have one, my Mom has one and Kathy N. has one. <br /><br />I do like this shuttle, and will have to inquire on how much yours will cost. I love the purple heart and ebony woods.<br /><br />Happy Tatting!Carol Schockling Laweckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00118585525880689940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-9982592348994442472010-02-25T11:46:19.594+00:002010-02-25T11:46:19.594+00:00Those shuttles will be special, indeed!
