You are right, bobbin winder won't work with the J bolt in the way on the Maywood, because it's tire was designed to ride on the wheel rim. On Defiance, it will work as it was driven off the belt. In any case, you can hook the J-bolt around a spoke and still wind bobbins. The hand crank from the grinder, is in the works, and it's okay with either style. I am working on a one size fits all cover for the front and back. A simple solution would be a piece of thin wall PVC pipe that would surround the rods, and round the top corners of the wooden frame to match.
