Default Home made hooping station

I've read up on making DTG machines,Dryers,etc. but nothing on home made hooping stations. I am real good at building things with wood. And don't have the money for one of the fancy units. So I was hoping to make one, hooping freehand is getting old real fast. I just can't seem to be able to find any info on them. Any guidance would be muchly appreciated.

We bought a couple of the hoopers for our machines...believe me I know how sore you get from hooping.
Didn't have arthritis but now I do from all the hooping and printing! I'd look online surely you could find a pic and duplicate it out of wood, then make the platen/hoop holder out of wood and a router maybe... be worth a shot because hoopers aren't cheap but yet well worth the money! Good luck.

I agree, we have a "hoop MAster" setup. consider duplicating one of those systems. they work good i think. good luck
