Well, that was a loooong time ago. Yeah, it was a classroom-type sharpener But I just remember it was an old pencil sharpener (old at the time, 1975--I do remember him saying that the newer pencil sharpeners wouldn't work, thanks to the fact that they didn't have the right kind of shaft) with a mandrel welded on to the shaft in place of where the sharpener mechanism usually went. The thing could be clamped to the desk with a c-clamp, and the clamp then also served as the anchor point for the initial winding. He'd put 5 turns of thread on before putting the thing on the winder.
