To use the binder, you just insert the blank, tie on the string and start cranking, pulling the blank through as you go, tie it off and repeat, but turn the wheel in the opposite direction.

I use some 1" PVC in & out to support sections. The in-feed pipe helps to keep the strips from flopping around. The turn-round level winds the mason line on the reels.

This is the whole thing ready to go. The connection from the drill press to the old drill stub shaft where the armature was is a piece of 3/8's rod with a piece of tygon tubing slipped over it.

This is a closeup of the working parts. The thread tensioners are off old sewing machines that seem to be a dime a dozen at repair shops. Lots of other really nice parts available in sewing machines too for those who like to build 'stuff'.

This is the bottom of the thing showing the old 3/8's drill front end and the drive sheave which is on the output end of the drill where the chuck used to be.
Surely somebody could get fancy making one of these but I just wanted to get it running and run some bamboo through it. The main thing for me is to have a glued up section go through with no hitches because the binder I built before this one failed halfway through and then the glue started to set up before I got it straightened. Not good.
