Hi Ed,

Mine is belt driven and can be fed from either end, although I prefer 
right to left - (I am a lefty).
I will have to go along with Jonathon Swift and recommend egg be 
broken on the "convenient end".

  Seems the consensus is "left to right, over the top" except for
one "right to left, over the top".  I guess everyone wants over the
top so it's easy to see the wire going on and use finger or other
pressure to keep the winding tight.  I guess one could drive the
spindle from either direction, depending on where the most convenient
place was for a drill or handle.  In my case I have provisions to
bolt the winder to the bench and can use either a hand crank (most of
the time) or a drill with the chuck clamped on the shaft for the hand
crank.  Since I'm right handed the crank, and hence th drill, are on
the right.  Obviously a winder of some sort, however crude, is worth
having but holding the form in the lap and turning it by hand works
too.........
