Re: Tensioners
I took the tensioner and the motor of a sewing machine, which my dear woman was going to throw away. Stopped her just in time.  
Itīs a knob with numbers on it , like a guitar volume knob , and two metalplates and a spring too.  
I put felts between metalplates , thought the metalplates only was a bit hard on the insulation.  
Works just fine!  
I've got a winder built from Jason's Winding Book ( great book , buy it ) and there's a long tensioning-arm which the tensioner is mounted on.  
 
Tony , interesting figures about wire-tensioning.  
Is there any cheap home-made way to measure wire tensioning to figures ?  
Those wire-tensioning measurements devices or are a bit expensive.  
Do you understand my english?  
I'm from Sweden , Scandinavia y'know where "all the girls are blonde and pretty".  
If you don't understand my english let me know.
