Contributing Member Tim Schroeder Posted February 17, 2016 Contributing Member Report Posted February 17, 2016 The rubber tire on the motor is a bobbin winder tire off any home sewing machine. Any sewing machine shop or Ebay will have one. A standard home sewing machine motor. Mine is an AlphaSew. You will need a pulley for the tire to fit on. Any sewing machine shop or Ebay. Quote
Members TinkerTailor Posted February 17, 2016 Members Report Posted February 17, 2016 Here is mine, It uses a 441 style front of machine mounted winder and a sewing machine motor as well: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=66750&hl=%2Bbobbin+%2Bwinder Quote "If nobody shares what they know, we will eventually all know nothing."

Members llucas Posted February 18, 2016 Members Report Posted February 18, 2016 A lot of great ideas shared on this forum. Thanks Tim and TT. I looked on eBay and found some reasonably priced sewing machine motors, bobbin tires, etc. One of these is in my immediate future. Quote
Members llucas Posted February 18, 2016 Members Report Posted February 18, 2016 I just use a variable speed drill and do about 2 at a time, the machine usually winds em for me. Thanks for the idea. I will definitely be doing this until I can put together a motorized winder like Tim's. Quote
