Thank you so much for looking!
Tara's suggestion is something I never thought of- there might be a wing nut big enough in a hardware store somewhere. I will SO hit myself in the head if this solves my problem!! My Bell Pull has been sitting there washed & pressed for more than 4 years- all I have left is the backstitch vines in the borders, and I was going to replace the flower buds with beads (no confetti stitches that way), otherwise I would have finished it in hand, then washed. I've been working on little projects not requiring a scroll frame all this time. Thank you anyway for your help! MM |

Arrggg!!
The largest metal wing nuts are too small, and a regular nut threads are too fine for the wooden threaded shaft of the frame. A 3/4" nut will fit, but it won't screw down the threads because they don't match. Unless I can find a hardware store or source that carries obscure sizes; I bought my frame set over 20 years ago- it's all oak- no metal parts at all. Alas and Alack! sigh 8( MM |

Oh I see the problem. You are trying to find a metal wing nut to fit a
PLASTIC thread. Oh yes, impossible. I thought perhaps you had the metal version. This does sound hopeless unless you find someone with that knob..... |

Actually- my entire frame, stand and scroll frame, is made of oak- the
knob I need, originally, was of wood. What you are refering to as a threaded metal rod, mine is a 5/8" or so diameter WOODEN threaded rod, protruding about 3" long from the side bar of the scroll frame. You are correct in that this is the part of the scroll frame assembly that holds the frame to the vertical post of the floor stand, just mine is wooden and threaded, not metal and threaded. I got my frame set in 1984 or '85 from the back of the CSCC magazine, maybe it was Bill's original version, which later evolved into off-the-shelf metal parts. I know if I could find a cabinet-maker/wood worker with an extensive shop, I could probably have a new knob machined to fit, taking care to match the threads on my scroll frame rod. I believe on my stand that the legs knobs (again, wood to wood) are a smaller diameter, but I actually never checked I had a thought on the way to work- maybe a PVC nut (if there is such a thing) from Home Depot or Lowe's would match the wooden threads, unlike the metal threads. Hey Fred- how about a manly opinion of this hardware stuff??!! Anyway, thanks for all the ponderings on my behalf! MM |
