    The real question though is how you count the number of winds. Or can you just measure the resistance at various intervals until its at the level you want??
    I was using a manual hand winder. Thats right, 1, 2, 3, 4,,,,,, 645, 646, 647, Ok so i did lots of hundred and mark off each 500 on a bit of paper. VERY sloooooow, but i end up with some cool pups. Plus I can do some fancy cross over winds and stuff.
    I can even do half a bobbin in one dirction, the the other half in the opposite direction. I havent tried that yet but am wondering if that would make for a "self humbucking" single coil? Anyone know?

    That guy did say in his post that the wire will snap and have to be soldered....

    what the hell is a senior member......
    and why am i one... lol

    i thought you were making fun of dadovfor's age


    hmmm.....
    wanna know what happens when you give andrew an idea, and a broken jigsaw?
    do ya?

    lol

    this is what happens







    shall i patent it? lol

    just have to screw around with the electrics some more and figure out how to slow it down a bit more,

    i threw a stereo jack in it so i can use my foot pedal to turn it on and off

    if it can wind without breaks, then great,
    if i have to screw around with it more and slow it down to produce break free winds,
    then so be it

    no room for breaks and solders in my coils.....
    and ill be right to go
