Guitar pickup winder with auto-transverse wire feed

www.original-flatpup.com - After more than 800 handmade pickups the automatic wire feed is a big step ahead: Gear drive of a dumped printer * especially shaped cam drive disc * adjustable winding range by shifting the eyelet back/forth * string tensioner from 2 clothes pins and a piece of cloth

Amazing piece of work and a really ingenious design.  Very simple but very effective.  Nice one Elmar !

thanks Belinda! I was very sceptical, but since I tried that winder yesterday I'm nearly hysterical :-)) The chances to finally be selfemployed are rising

great to see a flatpup being made! I'll soon be putting one on my latest build : -)

...regarding voodoo - tests of the first automatically wound didn't sound other than the handwound pickups. Yay! There isn't much of time saving during winding, but... the big saving is that there's no recovery time to wind the next one.
