zyonsdream Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I'm not sure if this has to be in the online section but since it's directly related to those who make pickups I decided to make the post here. If I'm wrong please move the thread! I'm building a few custom pickups and I didn’t want to use the standard black cloth tape that is commonly used to wrap the bobbin. So I started to look around for cloth tape with designs on it. I came across this place on Evilbay and thought I’d share it. Obviously the tape is a little wide but that’s easy to take care of with a good razor blade! Just thought I would share! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...N:IT&ih=013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zyonsdream Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I'm still new at it and and I'm still trying to hone my craft. The kits that StewMac makes are killer but the winder can be made with a lot less money than they ask. Mine's a hand craned model that I made myself. It has a counter and it's about all the exercise I get LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 ive been looking at the winder from stewmac, but i think i could find better magnet than what they offer...any ideas on this and anything else would be greatly appreciated I've done okay so far using an electric hand drill as a winder. I've bought the Stew mac magnets and also the Allparts magnets. I think the Allparts magnet is bigger. I can't say any more about one being better or worse.
