Hi Greg,

Nice, simple design.  I wound my 2" secondary by hand, and it took forever!  
Not to mention the sore hands...  It came out almost perfect, but would have 
been much, much easier and taken a mere fraction of the time with a jig like 
this.  It would even be easy to add a turn counter to it.  I can't imagine 
trying to wind a 12" without one!  The ice cream motor seems perfect for 
this application.  I've seen new ones at Wal-Mart for $15 in the summer.
