Nice work, makes me want to go out to the shop and make one to replace that nasty one I have been using for years. Like DIYaholic said though, not for use in the field. (laughing)

Aw, you’re all so funny! When would I actually Need a plumb bob? If I was stuck doing construction, I’d fail miserably. As a display, though, they really make me smile when I roll up the garage door. Now I’m digging for new and different scrap pieces.

Barb, what are you using for the pointed bottom? They look great, and rather than me figure out another option, maybe you have a suggestion as to what you used. Thanks

They would make nice pendants too! Beautiful! :)

They are great looking and way too nice for construction work, besides I have a heavy steel bob for that. I have seen several people with similar displays stands, where do you get them?

Thanks, everyone. The hardware kits are from Craft Supplies USA. The small ones are a ‘Bobble kit’ using 1” wood blanks, but they come with 8/32 all thread rod to attach the top and bottom pieces, so I’m going to buy some and cut it longer for next time. The larger ones are a kit of ‘Christmas ornament’ hardware, using 7mm pen tubes with hardware pressure-fit in the ends. I forgot the length provided, but it was shorter and I substituted a regular 2” pen tube length to make it a little bigger.

Hi BarbS … I love your unique collection!!!

BarbS, you don’t happen to have a 45 degree one in your portfolio?

I think these are beautiful enough to pass as Christmas ornaments or one of those that draw in the sand.
