COIL WINDING
Original poster: Ed Phillips <evp@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Seems the consensus is "left to right, over the top" except for
one "right to left, over the top". I guess everyone wants over the
top so it's easy to see the wire going on and use finger or other
pressure to keep the winding tight. I guess one could drive the
spindle from either direction, depending on where the most convenient
place was for a drill or handle. In my case I have provisions to
bolt the winder to the bench and can use either a hand crank (most of
the time) or a drill with the chuck clamped on the shaft for the hand
crank. Since I'm right handed the crank, and hence th drill, are on
the right. Obviously a winder of some sort, however crude, is worth
having but holding the form in the lap and turning it by hand works
too.........
