This has got to be one of the most original bits of home brew art I've
ever seen!

Has anybody out there ever tried something like this? I wish I could
figure out how to scale this down to wind smaller toroids.

BTW there is a commercial toroid winder on ebay right now, starting bid
is $99 that will wind most toroid sizes useful for ham projects.
