Excellent photos Col! I always try to use available light for this kind of work if possible, with perhaps a small desk lamp for "fill-in". This can result in longish exposures, so to avoid camera shake I fire the camera with a remote control (and use a tripod of course).

I have built a winder to your design and it works spendidly. It cost nothing at all as my wife hasn't missed the needle yet!
