Tom SeymourJoe,
thanks for the heads up. I missed it in the tool section. Comment and question has been posted there.

Joseph T. CollinsI have posted 5 more pictures on the Tool Forum showing the operation of the winder. The chuck, which is the heart of this project is available from
http://harborfreight.com for a regular price of $25.99. It is on sale often for $19.99. Harbor Freight item # 04486.
While I can't be sure without actually looking at one, I've only seen pictures, I believe this chuck could be modified to replace the tail stock of an Ollie Baker winder. Can someone who uses one give me the diameter and length of that piece?
Joe
