Hi - I have one of Simon's large roller pillows with drawers and a table (not portable). I also have lots of his bobbins, a bobbin holder rack, and a couple of "tongue depresser" type holders (in sumak) and a toolbox which holds 9 tools: 2 pin pushers, 2 divider pins, lazy susan and a needlepin for sewings and a pricker, pin lifter, small latch-hook. The box is also made in sumak, the same as the wood on my pillow which is covered in dark green velvet. The tools are in a dark coloured wood with heavy grain. He turned a pair of bobbins for me in sumak which came as a gift with my pillow, but told me "never again - it is too soft". And it is, the thread cuts in to the head and it is very light.
The neck on the midlands bobbins is very fine and I worried about breaking them at first, but I've never had a problem.
