Hi Folks, Ever fancied making your own pick ups.???? Well here's a winder you can make from a sewing machine...

If anyone follows up please keep us informed on your success and progress.

Here is a pic of one made by a guy on a forum

This is his comments on the machine.
I made a simple winder using a sewing machine motor. New motor was about 30 bucks. I attached it to a rear hub from a mountain bike. I use a potientiometer to control the speed. Currently have a simple microswitch to do the counting. Total cost for the winder was under $50. It has been updated since this pic. It no longer has the wood block.

...and yes that is one fat coil, wanted to see how much I could get on and how it would sound... terrible!

Regards, Fenderphil
