Power Winding Chainmail

Description

In an effort to speed up the production of chainmail at home I have designed a winding assisting block. While this was originally designed to be used on a hand crank jig with some minor modifications I can make a three foot coil in less than a minute.

The basic idea is to have the wire feed in thru the top, the rod goes in one end and the exit port is drilled to the exterior diameter of the coil.

The rod is straight with a notch cut into the end to receive the wire. The reason I use a notch instead of a single hole is to make it easy to remove the coil after finishing.

the bigger the ideas, the smaller the actual product.
Simple but effective, I've been using a winding guide simulair to this one for my chainmaille makings.
