Well, since I skeined up a bunch of 2 ply rayon that I dyed I knew I wanted to wind it back up on a couple of cones that I had left over. I sure did not want to do this manually and thought I must have some random pieces of hardware that I can make a cone holder. A piece of quarter inch threaded rod, a piece of metal strap, a couple of hex nuts and a flat washer and a wingnut was all it took. It fits in the battery drill and works as well as my bent wire paper tube holder did.
