Wanted to build a winder back in the 80's but never followed up.
Guess there's still time, right?

I will add one more thing. I got the whole shaft/bearing assembly done and mounted as well this weekend... man was that a pain. SO, note to followers, 3/8" rod doesn't fit in 3/8" bearings. You need rod ever so slightly smaller (should have seen this coming). WHERE you go about getting that is beyond me cause I sure as heck didn't see it.


It's called a press fit, Chris. Next time put the bearing in the oven and heat it to about 200 or so, and put the shaft in the freezer. Then pull them both out after an hour and put them together. When they achieve room temp, they should be tight!

Chris!
That is really sweet, thanks for taking the time to post.
Can you follow up with some shots of winding a pickup?
Very cool!
