Sergio, you do great work on pickups.

How did you like the 5-pole pickup I built for you sometime ago?

Before I found this place, I had stumbled across his website - what a piece of handiwork! So, how far along is your version of his winder?? 
Oh, and to complete, welcome Sergio!

Thanks, John.
My pickup winder is disarmingly simple, and totally hand-operated. I see no need for going too hi-tech as far as building/rewinding pickups goes. Some people may know differently, of course.

Ok, that calls for a question - how do you keep the right tension without breaking the wire. Or is it just experience. When I unwound my hi-gains the wire was as thin as hair and much more breakable. How not to stretch it?
I like the idea of a hand winder - organic. But maybe one driven with a sewing machine variable speed motor would be easier to control the tension... Thinking out loud here.

Just experience, in fact.
'Organic'? I like the word.

I've hand-wound a few ballast coils used in lighting applications, and machine-wound thousands, & I can tell you that it looks fairly straightforward, but there's a huge measure of technique involved, particularly with very thin wire such as that used in pickups. It requires a very skilled operator to achieve consistent results.
