Alan,
The old timer radio hams were also faced with the problem of winding coils by
hand.
The easiest method was to simply anchor your spool of wire in a vise and wind
your
coil by holding the form in your hands. As you walk towards the anchored
spool you
can keep tension on the wire. Beats knee pads.
Good luck on your coil.
