Design by Rob DiStefano of Cavalier Pickups, who I met on TDPRI and over 5 years ago offered to help get me started on my pickup winding journey. Using the chisel rest as a traverse limiter was my idea, but the rest is his brainchild! And I never would have gotten into pickup winding if it weren't for Rob, so huge credit to him!
Turned me on to the idea of using a PenPal lathe and told me about using a 2" or 3" faceplate and making a bobbin plate out of plywood, reflective tape, and flat black enamel paint. Told me about using a Red Lion CUB5B000 and an RRDC2000 retroreflective sensor. He also invented the Velcro Tensioner and is the author of the Fret Tech website and Cavalier Pickups. Outstanding luthier and person, and has selflessly helped me with every single question I've had with pickup winding over the past four years.
Check out Cavalier Pickups, owned by Rob, and his posts on TDPRI. You can find me there under the username kingvox.
Further credit to my friend and mentor Steve Kubica for inventing the idea of a spool holder for the magnet wire. Works brilliantly. Can wind at max speeds on the PenPal (4300 RPM) with absolutely no worries about the wire whipping around anywhere it isn't supposed to.
Main parts:
PenPal Lathe
Red Lion CUB5B000 Panel Meter
RRDC2000 Retroreflective Sensor
Drill Stops (put onto the tool rest to use as traverse limiters)
2" or 3" faceplates and DIY plywood bobbin plates
I made the bobbin plates using the Stewmac soundhole routing jig. You can see the process I used on "My Homemade Pickup Winder" thread on TDPRI.
