This is just a quick show-and-tell on a little clamp-on pincushion and scissors holder that I made as a Christmas gift. The body is mahogany from the Magic Attic stash and the threaded shaft is maple. The pincushion is from felt and hand-sewn by yours truly.

That’s very clever Greg. Now that’s what I call Arts and Crafts.
Thank you Salko. I enjoy making things like this. It is a nice change of pace from furniture.
My wife is a professional quilt maker, so I her if she would want one. She looked at me like I had a frog hanging out of my mouth and said “do you WANT me to cut my wrists?!” She might be right about the risk of accidental cuts and jabs in the “fog of sewing.”
Most people would be very happy to have such an attractive device!

Pretty cool and creative use of woodworking. 🙂
Thank you Jeff.
Projects like this are a good way to reduce the offcut pile and most people seem to like them.
