Gettin’ Wound Up

Post by plopswagon »

I’ve been working on a pickup winder. This weekend I finally assembled the box.

It’s all scrap wood MDF, and some pine blocks inside.

Most excellent!
I nabbed plans for a winder in mid or late 2020, but haven’t pulled the parts together yet… this is inspiring.

I was inspired by the one I saw online made of a fishing reel. I thought, we’ll shit, they built one, what’s holding me back?

Assembled.

It won’t be the fastest winder ever. I believe this is wise.
