I used the cable tie method as well after seeing Greg's results. I would
have to say that my primary is definately not ugly, but it is not as nice as
my one in acrylic. The method is very cheap, sturdy, easy and neat, and all
together actually looks pretty good. I've taken a few pictures of my coil
with the cable tie primary, but haven't posted them anywhere yet. The next
primary I make is definately going to be the cable tie design too.
