Winding Machine
A perfect wrap — in under two minutes.
The winding machine keeps the thread tension constant while you simply turn the crank. The Turk's head wrap stays even, the pattern stays clean, and that holds from the first reed to the hundredth. What used to take concentration and time becomes routine.
In action
From clamping in to taking off: just under two minutes. And the hundredth reed looks exactly like the first.
