Hey VU,
So my hands finally got tired enough from hand wrapping single claptons and I want to invest in a workstation to build my own coils. The thing is, I don't know EXACTLY what I need. I know I'll need a drill and some fishing swivels, but that's about it. I've watched many videos online about coil building, and most of the guys have really professional looking setups. Right off the bat I have to say that I don't have the money to build something so professional, so I'm mainly looking for something that gets the job done, and doesn't break the bank.
This Daedalus Pro Kit seems exactly what I need, but the company doesn't exist anymore, and China isn't making clones either. Does anyone know if any other companies make something comparable?
I know this is asking for a lot, but can you guys point me in the right direction? What size swivels, and how many? What are the swivels mounted to? What kind of drill? I live in Germany, and don't have nearly enough money for an imported Milwaukee drill or something else that comes from the states. So I need a variable speed drill that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, that preferably can stand on its own without being mounted. If the drill MUST be mounted, what type of a clamp should I get? Some type of vice grip, I presume?
Lastly, can any of you coil builders here post some pics of your workstations? I'd like to see what YOU'RE working with as well
Thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers,
Igor
