Cool & neat product, wish i could have one of those on my workshop 

Very cool Sean. Would love to have one for winding guitar pickups etc.

So they are about 1000 GBP at the moment?

.99

Well managed to get round to making the Add-on for the Coil Winder.
Please find video showing the machine winding a Starship coil

I honestly think you will have more demand for a toroid winder than for a Rodin coil winder. Call me skeptical.... but there it is.

Here is the basic idea to wind a toroid mechanically, or even manually. You make a splittable reel bobbin that will fit thru your toroid, you assemble the bobbin onto the toroid and then wind the bobbin with the exact length of wire you will wind onto the toroid... .here's where a clever mechanical arrangement is needed to hold things and rotate the bobbin so the wire comes off the spool onto the bobbin.

Then you do the reverse: you secure the free end of the wire from the bobbin to the toroid, then you "unwrap" the wire off of the bobbin onto the toroid, by rotating the bobbin, while also rotating the toroid to make the wraps even, tight and smooth. Again, a clever mechanical arrangement will hold the bobbin and the toroid at right angles and rotate them both at the appropriate speeds.

Should be easy as pi......
 

Sorry about the bad photo and the miserable sketch.... I'm no artiste, just a lazy winder.
