Why not a Lazy John?

I’m bothered everytime I see the name of this tool, Lazy Kate. Where does it come from? I prefer the French word, much more neutral : un cantre.

Anyway, for less than 1 $, a piece of wood and nails, I made myself a Lazy John, I hope it will work, because it was a pain in the neck to do all these bobbins of chiné for Not Matisse without it.

Je me suis fabriqué un cantre, parce que ça a été une vraie galère de faire les bobines de chiné sans cet outil. J’espère qu’il va marcher, sinon je demanderai de l’aide au padawan de ma padawan!
