Spoke insertion tools made on the lathe.  This run is for Pedals 2 People's wheel building class.  The needle has a spiral thread which holds the nipple a little better.  They make inserting nipples in double wall rims that much easier.  Some of the bodies are shorter because the needle broke while making them, so I had to make a new needle.
