I've wound a number of them in the past, including some rather unusual HV
stuff for custom equipment. I'd certainly double check my work with a
meter, but I'd be ok with it.
David Gingery (I think, maybe Vincent Gingery -- AFAIK
they are father
and son) has written a book called something like 'Build a Universal
Coil Winder'. I've not read it, and I've certainly not tried to build
the device, but if it's anything like his other 'build your own exotic
tools' books, then it'll be a design that will work as described, and
will also be a good starting point for your own mods (hackers never
follow instructions, right :-)).
You might want to see if you can get a copy of this book...
I'll search around and see if I can find it.
The only true hand winder I've found online is this one:

Ideally, thats the type of machine I'd like to find or build.
