Hi Fucian,

Do you have a large printer cable or telephon cable laying around? If you
do, you can make a nice primary out of it. Put a water hose over it and make
the first turn at the size you need and turn the cable with hose around
touching the previous turn. Fix it anyway you like, solder all wires
together on both sides and connect them with your cap and gap. Eddy ready
go!

Advantages: easy, fast, safe, flexible.
Disadvantages: tuning has to be done with the secondary cap.

Nice Coiling,
