It's not too hard to make your own winder, I made one from a makeshift
handle on the end of a piece of wood . Attach the handle to one end with a
screw and an L bracket and drill a larger hole in the other end that you can
insert another bolt in loosely. Have the other bolt attached to a second L
bracket. Wind wadded paper with tape around the wood so that the wood can be
inserted into the coil form with a snug fit.

Now you have a hand operated winder for a few bucks. They work great!
