I made a holder for those long upholstery and doll needles by cutting 3/4 pvc to length, glued on a cap at one end and a threaded cap at the other. Works for those expensive paint brushes too.
Those metal barbque skewers with a ring at one end? Bent the ring over, drilled a small hole in a short length of 2X4, pushed in the sharp end. Voila! An extra cone thread holder. Got fancy on a couple and inserted a dowel to keep the cone in place.
Love this thread.
