Excellent choice in wire size. I know what you mean about weight. Our big 29
inch coil form weighs over 300 pounds - and that's without any wire! We have
150 pounds of #12 wire for it, and I don' think we could even get the coil off a
winding jig. I'm going to take a circular saw to the pipe and cut strips out of the
plastic to reduce weight by at least 50% before we wind it.
