   If you had the wire and the secondary form you could wind any of his 
secondaries by hand in at most an afternoon just by holding the form in 
your lap, anchoring the wire at the start and then feeding the wire onto 
the form with one hand [and fingers of course] while you turn the form 
with the other.  Making machines if fun and I've done that but I've also 
done it the simple way and results were equally good.
