I'm sure that Tim wouldn't want photos of his gear posted for everyone to copy, but I know that the winders they use at Bareknuckle are custom made and machined to very high tolerences, so they can handwind as neatly as a machine winder (if not neater), or scatter wind as desired. These machines must be incredibly expensive, and only really for the professional who needs that utmost reliability and consistency. The Schatten winder pictureed is, I'm sure absolultely fine for the occasional winder, or hobbyist. I see a huge difference between a company who invests in researching, and recreating the correct materials, and specs for vintage as well as contemporary pickups, and someone who buys parts and tools that are readily available, reads a book about making pickups and has a go. I'm sure it's great fun though.
