Matt, I've built a system for that. The biggest problem is the interference of the handles. I modified the cheapest 5 speed drill that I could find. (seen them for under 50 bucks) The drill goes full 2 inch stroke with less than a half turn of the handle which is above the drill. I have it set up now on a piano that I am restringing. I could take digital pictures if you like. Let me know. Carl Meyer Assoc.
