Rod Pearce Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Have a look at Alex Holden's website for inspiration https://www.holdenconcertinas.com/?p=831 I made this using Alex's jig as a model. It is cruder, but works very well. THe brass hexagon is an old 22mm stop end for copper pipe with the threads sawn off. Since the photos were taken I have added the guide to the right as per Alex's jig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_holden Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Since that blog post I modified the winder slightly to make the arms of the springs about 2-3 mm longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
