... my wife asked me to make her one.
The one with the wooden pegs was the first one I made. Turning those wooden pegs one by one and then getting them to roughly the same length was a chore.
So for the second one I used finishing nails ... She Who Praises All My Work said I might have gone a little bit overboard on the number of them (16).
(Edited to Add - thanks for all the responses - I am still getting PMs, occasionally). These are 'Knitting Nancys" or spool knittters. They make a cord of knitted yarn or string that can be used for various purposes.)
Anyway - I'm sure all of you know what these are, BUT if you do, keep mum for a bit (or send me a PM if you care to) and see what others might come up with.
Hint - they are NOT the king and queen for a really big chess set.
