So that all you have to do is a shaft that holds the original reel, an
adjustable break that pushes the side of the reel so makes the tension right
and a hook that could lead the wire left and right to wind it evenly. So it
never twists and the tension is always the same. Now you just have to make a
PIC based circuit with a led display that counts the rotation -- that should
not be a hard to be done.
