Thanks Guys!

I love it. It works on the same principle as a holdfast to bind up .
Great gizmo.

What a Great Idea for Christmas presents! or any other time for that mater! As many books as I have, I would need a dozen of those. I don’t think I have ever seen such neat ideas as You have. Merry Christmas, and Many Blessings for the New Year!

That’s really clever. Now I want to make something like it. How did you cut the wooden threads?
