Hello, just go to longarmsupplies.net and look at the Gammill bobbin winder. I have this machine and won't use anything else! Fast and easy and at 89.95 its worth it, trust me! The main platform is made of solid material like corian counter top material with a hard surface on top and bottom. By the way, this uses the same winder setup that the industrial machines use but with a home sewing machine motor to power it. Good luck, Brad.
