Knotting Matters 134 (March 2017)

Some comments:
Solid Sinnets:  John's braiding table intersects with my plans to make custom kumihimo marudai mirrors for myself.  The pegs though, where does one purchase such things?  Do you have to get wire or metal rods and cut and finish them yourself?  Which brings to mind Don's Turks Head Tool pegs.  Did he have to use a threading die on each one, custom order, or is there a source?  I feel like, maybe, there's a specific term that I'm missing because my Googling is not producing much in the way of useful items...  surely someone out there sells such things?

A Cord Maker:  Richard, my memory of Anne's Tibetan Twister was of 4 rods in a square form factor, possibly because 4 strand cords are commonly used in ply-split braiding.  I remember seeing images of such online long ago, but there are no longer any online accessible images that I can find.  Nor the ordering information for Anne's booklet.
