    Default New spring winder

    My hands live in a safer world, I'd like to say a big thank you to Joseph Collins and Yankrasnopolsky whose winder plans and design enabled me to build this hybrid. Workshop tool limitations forced compromises and alternatives but crossing the designs over meant it was possible.

    Maybe it seconds as a rotisserie. Nice winder.
