The Schacht is nice and light, but its light oil finish is not as smooth as the BB, so I tend to prefer that one as it glides better for me.Amelia, belle of The Bellwetherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00837966439073456616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724020750574958700.post-90531818122192374962008-07-07T13:34:00.000-07:002008-07-07T13:34:00.000-07:00I've just recently started using end-feed shuttles and am so impressed with the difference in handling compared to boat shuttles.<BR/><BR/>I have two Schact that I dearly love and have two made by the Southern reed company that I've had for a few years -- inherited them, but never had any pirns that fit them -- until I got my Schacts. The Schact pirns with a bit of a nudge, fit them really well. Although, I have'nt tried weaving with them yet. They are very beautiful to look at, but the proof will be in the weaving. :)<BR/><BR/>I'm completely sold on end-feeds now. <BR/><BR/>Weave on!<BR/>JaneJanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11063831494031165067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724020750574958700.post-38696681476479767102008-06-26T10:53:00.000-07:002008-06-26T10:53:00.000-07:00Hi Barbara,<BR/><BR/>My AVL end feed is fairly new - January and yes both ends are flattened and not pointy.<BR/><BR/>LindaJasmine Weaverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08076683772173807771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724020750574958700.post-35054230917885968462008-06-13T12:42:00.000-07:002008-06-13T12:42:00.000-07:00I just took a closer look at your AVL. Mine has pointer ends than yours. Is this the way they are now being made?bspinnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11385723696922637454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724020750574958700.post-85624703788581338072008-06-13T12:39:00.000-07:002008-06-13T12:39:00.000-07:00I have two AVL shuttles, one large and one small for many years. As a matter of fact at the time I purchased them they were only $40 a piece. I love them but have never used any other end delivery.bspinnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11385723696922637454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724020750574958700.post-84378792267255482832008-06-09T17:34:00.000-07:002008-06-09T17:34:00.000-07:00Well, I came to comment on your CD fabric, but got side tracked by the end feed shuttles. Thanks for the report! My land guild has a Schacht one listed on an upcoming silent auction. I've really been wanting an end feed shuttle, so perhaps I'll get this one without too much bidding.Leighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.com
