Anybody know where I can get some 2-inch spindles like these? I need about 40 to restore an old table.

Mike,

I've used Osborne wood products for turnings in the past.  Here's the web address.  http://www.osbornewood.com/

I don't know if they have what you're looking for exactly, but they will do custom work.

Hope this helps, Don

Thanks Don,

I'll check them out. I may end up learning how to work a lathe- These are so small I doubt anyone wants to do them in mass.

Here are a couple of other places you might try that specialize in antique hardware and supplies:

Van Dyke's Restorers: www.vandykes.com

The Renovator's Supply: www.rensup.com

Mike,

Another option I thought of is to search and see if there are any woodworking associations or clubs in your area, or a school with woodworking classes.  A member or student may be willing to make some for you for less than a commercial firm, or maybe even as a favor.   Of course this could provide the reasoning to purchase a lathe and experience a whole new area of woodworking. 

Best of luck however you decide to proceed, Don

ps. and send us a picture when its finished.
