Indian Flute - wooden
We bought these flutes some time ago for a project that didn't materialize. There are approximately 38 of them. If someone is interested in them all, we will sell them for $7.95 each. They originally retailed for $14.95 & that was several years ago. A flute player tried one out in our showroom one day - the flute had a beautiful sound. If interested in the "lot", please call.

Hoosier Pie Basket - shelf frame parts
Originally made for the Hoosier Pie Basket pattern, written by Joanie Loch during the early 90's. It was quite popular for several years. The frame features a woven top to create a shelf to set a second pie on. We just found a big box of the leg parts we forgot we had. This offer is for the entire lot. There are only legs - no dowel rod pieces. The sample rack in the photo will be included, along with the original pattern from our master file. This would be great for someone teaching or wanting to adapt the parts to a new basket.
|
|
Hoosier Pie Basket - shelf frame parts
There are 71 - 4 leg sets. The legs are 3" tall x 1 1/8" dia. They are drilled for 1/2" dowel rods. Only the sample has the rods. Dowel rods are easily available at most hardware or lumber stores. The sample rack is 10" x 10", but the size can easily be adjusted to fit the basket by changing the length of the dowel rods. Only the legs and one sample rack are being sold. They are a package deal. The complete framework sold for $7.50 in 1993.

Interesting Odd & Ends - One-ofs....

WigJig Tools
|
|
|
WigJig Olympus
The transparent Olympus has the largest work space of any WigJig, allowing you to make large wire designs for pendants, sun catchers, paper arts designs, bracelets and much more. It is the thickest of our jigs, and works extremely well in a vise. It is clearly the jig of choice for serious wire designers. The Olympus Jig has 481 holes, 20 movable pegs (10 are 5/8" long and 10 are 3/4" long, 3/32" diameter) plus wire working tips and instructions. 5" x 5".
|
|
|
|
WigJig Delphi
The transparent Delphi has smaller pegs and closer holes than the Olympus. Accordingly, designs made on the Delphi are smaller and more delicate. This is a great addition to the Olympus jigs since it facilitates making matching sets of jewelry. For example, smaller earring components can be made on the Delphi to match larger necklace / bracelet links made on the Olympus. It also works very well for paper arts designs. Includes jig with 181 holes, 20 metal pegs (1/16" diameter), and wire designing tips. 3" x 3".
|
|
|
|
WigJig Cyclops
Smaller complimentary version to Electra. Smaller holes to make finer designs. 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"
