I set up a small ac fan to blow on the motor to keep it from overheating. I added a simple standard wall switch in a standard rectangular wall box for an on off switch. I wanted to err on the side of control, since the motor can be replaced with one of higher rpm easy enough. I was looking for a fairly low speed motor because I am winding large bobbins, up to 18 inches, so the tip speed gets fast. I bought a surplus 120V continuous-duty 100 rpm motor online. The winder consists of three parts: (1) The motor and bobbin mount, (2) The counter, (3) The wire guide I also wanted a winder that could run unattended so I could work on other things. My intention was to build a simple, cheap, effective winder using off the shelf or surplus parts.
