Slightly different design from the previous one I built. But this is the pick-up winder I am building for our good friend Dingobass!
Here is the recipe for this one.
First throw in some Parts....
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...vry-Photo8.jpg
Buy some wood.....and mark it for the box and pickup holder.
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...752-Photo9.jpg
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...s7n-Photo3.jpg
Grab some electronic wire and wick the ends with solder in preparation to attach to the power input socket.
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...10z-Photo7.jpg
Attach socket keeping polarity in mind. The 24v counter and motor controller will be attached at the opposite end.
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...523-Photo6.jpg
Building the box and cutting the pickup winder holder to shape. This is the 'empty side' of the winder. Simply seen here, gluing a support for the 'lid' of the winder.
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...06c-Photo5.jpg
Below is the busy side of the winder after being glued. As you can see I have already drilled the cavity and cut the support which will house the 800 RPM motor. Still to come is the hole for the Reed Switch which will trigger the counter to count the revolutions as well as the 'feeder' that will be used to guide the wire onto the coil.
Note that part of the motor housing is actually loose at the moment. It is not glued to the side and won't be glued. The idea is that this component will be bolted into the glued section so that the motor aan be changed if ever something goes wrong or if the component needs to be shifted or updated.

I have used the scroll saw to cut the pickup holder shown below. It is currently too thick for my liking so I will trim it down on the sander.

Hey Gav, can you possibly link me to the PCB Motor Controller and the cream coloured box-thing????Quote:

Sure can!
The cream coloured box-thing is the counter. It's a JDM-11 24 volt resettable counter. Both the counter and the PCB Motor Controller and 800 RPM motor (all 24v) can be obtained from:
http://www.uxcell.com/
They have been pretty good so far!
Cool, also, any wiring diagrams????Quote:

http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...t92-Photo1.jpg
I am quivering with anticipation right now!
Ok, spent several hours on this last night!
Using the Thicknessing Sander to bring the PUP holder to a more appropriate size and weight.Can'thave the thing flying off the axle and hitting our resident luthier in the face or worse!
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...w1-Photo21.jpg
Drilling the hole in preparation to attach the wire guide to the 'busy side' of the winder! A bolt with two slides will be inserted here to allow the aforementioned luthier to guide his wiring onto the pickup as it spins completely in control at 600 RPM,10,000 times.
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...90-Photo20.jpg
On the subject of the motor, this is the housing with the 'clamps' in place to hold the motor in position. It is adjustable as previously mentioned.
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...ub-Photo19.jpg
Next onto the front panel of the winder.
The first task wasto mark roughly where the instruments and components will be placed. Second step find appropriate Laminate Router and bit and create lots of dust and wood chips.
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...ze-Photo17.jpg
Here I have carefully marked off the cavity for the counter and then made sure that the switch will be centered.
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...pr-Photo16.jpg
Off to the scrollsaw to cut out the cavity for the counter.
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...0c-Photo15.jpg
This is the 'busy side' of the winder with the exterior view of the motor. I need to measure up the position for the Reed Switch which will send a pulse to the counter and count the number of winds on the PUP.
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...60-Photo14.jpg
I have 'folded' the reed switch and soldered the attaching wires to transport the signalto the counter. To protect everything,the standard shrinkwrap has been added!
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...z6-Photo13.jpg
Reed switch in position.Itjustslides in nicely. is adjustable by hand if necessary!
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...z7-Photo11.jpg
Here is the PUP holder again. Nicely slimmed and now sporting a hole drilled in the centre.This is to allow movement of the holder along the motor axle for fine tuning with the guide at the other end!
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...k7-Photo10.jpg
Four humbucker screws attach the aluminium bracket to the PUP Holder - Note to self! Need to remember to replace those screws or the humbucker ain't going to stay in the guitar too long!
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...75p-Photo8.jpg
The side nut attaches the aluminium bracket to the axle of the motor. Again adjustable! :P
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...nys-Photo7.jpg
Last thing to do with the PUP holder is to drill a 10mm hole and insert/attach the rare-earth magnet....sh#t should have checked with DB's Dr's that this was in order.
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...k62-Photo6.jpg
Front Panel....looking good!!
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...rjz-Photo5.jpg
Front Panel looking even better....Components!!!!
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...ze9-Photo3.jpg
Front and back of the FRONT panel with components all in place....aaaaah!
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...we5-Photo2.jpg
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...9mk-Photo1.jpg
Looking good Gav, I can hear DB breathing heavily from here...
Are you taking orders yet? Because I'm thinking I'd love, at some point, a Bill Lawrence style keystone Tele set of pups. No rush, but.

The motor / controller / counter can be found here: www.uxcell.comQuote:

Well, we Have one very happy Dingobass..
Picked up my pup winder from the Gavmeister last night!
All I need now are the bitz to build me some custom Bass pups.
Thanks Gavin! :D
Very Welcome! It was good meet up and on Australia Day too!Quote:

Might have to get you to put up a few of the 'finished' pics....
I figured I should give a better account of the bending of the Reed switch in case someone thinks I mean't to bend the actual glass. Care must be taken in bending the Reed Switch because the glass covering the Reed Switch is very thin and prone to crumbling.
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...yi1-Photo2.jpg
The next part in the process is to begin connecting up the components. Good place to start is with the wiring of the on/off switch.
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...ie0-Photo3.jpg
The motor controller is placed into its position and wired up to the Potentiometer.
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...00p-Photo4.jpg
Hereis th wiring diagram 'borrowed' from the Telecaster forum drawn up by Nosmo who is the inspiration behind my unit. Note that I used a 24v circuit whereas the drawing depicts a 12v....
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...ster-forum.jpg
The following picture is a closeup for the finished pickup holder with the positioning of the reed switch. I figured I wouldn't bore everyone with a bunch of wires being shown soldered up.You have the wiring diagram so should be easy from there?
http://pitbullguitars.com/wp-content...42-Photo10.jpg
Final gluing up! will ask DB to post a few pics once he gets it home.

I'm enjoying this in a completely voyeuristic way. Can't see myself ever building one, but enjoying watching someone else do it. Oh, and I love my Irwin quick grips, some of the most useful tools in my shed. The only way they could be better is if they were the ones that reverse, so that they can push as well as pull (if you take my meaning).
GGP
Get the meaning perfectly GGP! have often had aneed for such clamp. I have a ton of clamps in my workshop. Can anyone tell me what this clamp is called?
Ah! and whileI have your attention. Pickup wire can be obtained from www.brocott.co.uk

Great to meet the Gavmeister and his family.
The Braai (South African for BBQ) was excellent, Great company and many laughs.
I hope that one day in the future we can have a get together of all the forum members.
The exchange of information and the camaraderie we have on this forum is unique, I have made some wonderful friends through it.
Anyhoo, I have got gear for making my first pups on order and I will post progress pics of my first pup winding experience soon!

GAY bar!...Hahahahahaha! (in house joke there folks)
all it needs is some strobe lights......(evil Luthiers chuckle) :P
Seriously though, spoilers aside, does any one know what this clamp is called and what it is for?
Irwin do make a reversible quick grip clamp Glenn.Quote:

Not sure if this is what you were looking for Glenn - my quickgrips can swap the end of the "grip" - one has a clip sort of affair (yellow bit on bottom) and the other a screw affair... Now if you squeeze the handle, they push apart..Quote:

definitely going to have a go at one of these gizmos :)
Certainly worthwhile!
Dumb Q ... in the circuit diagram , where do the wires from the reed s/w go onto the counter ? ie the white, blue and black ? and does the counter get power from the power supply?
Hi AJ,
Not a dumb question at all. It does depend on what counter you buy. If you buy the one I have shown here, it will need to be a 24v unit and it will be powered by the same power supply as the motor. Effectively the reed switch does not have a positive or negative side, but will be connected via the black and the white wires. The unit I show already has a reset switch built in.
tk's Gavin, so I take it those wires go to terminals 1 and 2 of the jdm 11-5h.
I have received the counter and motor so far, just waiting on the cc board. That mob sent 2 x $5 vouchers for next purchases from then... cool hey. Also noted on Ebay was a 24v dc motor driver power supply also ( in a single unit)
.
Sounds right to me!
Hey Gav, is there a chance you can show us close-ups of the wiring for each component on your winder???
And also, can you add in the reverse switch???
kelooe, the wiring for the reverse switch is already shown in the CC in an earlier post.. it is the the DPDT switch where power is routed to one side of the switch then connected in common and (reversed polarity on the other side)through on the opposite side of the switch, where the center position is the "out to the actual motor... if that help you any?
So, where's the switch to turn it off??? I saw 2 switches in the vid that Gav posted, also Gav, how'd ya make it stop then go in reverse???
Hi Pest ! Yeah, i need to post that simple adaption!
Here it is....simple DPDT switch wired up to reverse polarity and hence turn the motor into reverse!
