Ha!  Nicely done, Justin.  I thought the Shopsmith was revving way too high as well, but then it seemed like you sped it up partway in!  Guess it makes the winding operation go a lot quicker, but with 42AWG wire, I'd be scared spitless!  Thanks for sharing your process, man!  My 'real' job is dealing in magnets, so I do plan to try my hand at making some pickups some day.....

I like your workshop and Shopsmith.  I like the way you say, "Bobbin."

I have not been very interested in making my own pickup and this is pretty much the first how to video I have watched.   Interesting and doable.   But, man that thing spins too fast!   I've heard about the wax / potting thing.  That was interesting too.   Thanks.
