Hi,

I use a variable speed drill on the left side...  It turns CCW so it 
turns the wire over the top...  Spins the wire on left to 
right...  Seems easy and comfortable to me...  I like over the top 
and left to right regardless of the drill direction switch...  I am 
right handed...

My first "good" coil was wound by computer. But all have been 
vari-speed power drill wound since...

Cheers,

Hmmm...

Cheers.
