Mini Version - 17" dia. $155.00 plus shipping
Thread Storage Carousel
Capacity of 288 Spools & 90 Bobbins
Overall Dimensions: 17" diameter x 24" tall and weighs approximately 30 lbs.
This is medium size version I call the Mini. It also features a removable bobbin storage shelf that holds up to 90 bobbins. It is designed to sit on top of the center post and can rotate for easy access. It also lifts off for easy access and can be placed near your work area.
Each shelf measures 17" OD diameter, 4" smaller than the standard size, and holds 48 spools per shelf, for a total storage capacity of 288 spools. A slightly smaller footprint than that of the Maxi, which could allow for placement and storage on a higher table for easier access. All of the other storage spacing is identical as the larger version, which has the spacing between dowel spindles 2.0" inches, with a clearance height of approximately 3-1/16". The photos show the MINI loaded with mini spools (550m). These spools measure approximately 1-3/4" base, with a height of 2-1/4". The spacing of 2.0 inches on the dowel pins will allow for any spool with a base of 2.0" inches or less, and maximum height of 3" tall. At the maximum height of 3” spool, this allows approximately 1/16" of clearance so the shelves spin easily.
The shelves are made of 1/4" MDF material, and the base is made from solid wood, with a 1/2" steel center support rod and 3" spacers between each shelf. The top shelves have a 3" inch wide access slot for reaching in to retrieve and re-position the spools.

Available with wheels for mobility - see below for information
Above are photos of the base with wheels for mobility. 2" swivel wheels that allow easy rolling on hard surface. I do not reccommend these particular wheels for carpet, but I do have larger silicone wheels available that do work on carpet. The base comes with 3 pre-drilled holes in which the wheels are simply slid into place. The wheels have lock rings on the shaft that keeps the wheel in place. Although the weight of the carousel and stored spools would be enough.
