Homemade Coil Winding Jig

I was asked by someone on youtube how I wound my coils. So this is a a jig that I made that allows me to wind them with hands free and to keep track of the number of turns.

Excellent idea and nicely assembled! I will need to make a copy of your design...maybe this weekend! :-))

Thanks... it works quite well. What took me about an hour now takes five or then minutes.

[Kntryhart]

What is the belt? Where did you get that? Have all the other parts. Thanks!

[Truthbeeknown]

The belt is actually a large "O"-ring.

Great work man......

This reminds me of a joke. One day NASA decided to send their man at the space for the first time. They had a problem as how they would write in space, as PEN won't work, because of zero gravity. So they spend like months in desigining a PEN costing a million dollar, that would be able to work in space and thus people can write.. During the presentation of this PEN, a kid comes from the crowd and lend him a pencil. He said, why don't you just take pencil with yourself.

I don't see how you are distributing the wire uniformly side to side on the coil...

@Kntryhart Chances are you can use a belt found at any hardware/automotive store. If you have a place that sells lawncare devices they probably have shorter belts based on your needs.

nice,but ...counting is not a good idea ,you can do it with an electronic calculator for pocket ...you take an magnet and place it on the well and you can place the magnet into the eccentric place and an reed relay has to stand in the magnet's way ..so at every turn the reed relay is gonna put to wires together ...wires that comes from the equal key from calculator ,and when you want to count you start the calculator and do 1+ and then rotate the weel and coil and the calculator is gonna count

@Whammo1963 tension on the spool will cause the garden hose effect and it should wind even.
