For a formless coil, perhaps you could split a form as you describe, and
then wind a tight layer of twine over that and varnish it thoroughly.
Then cut the twine along the split.  Then when you wind the wire over it
and lightly fix the turns as you describe, they will end up spaced.
Possibly you would need to utilize alignment pins in the form to keep
the spiral at the split accurately aligned.


I could -- but being a typical lazy ozzi I will just set the winding jig
to create the space for me :) ... It's well worth getting the automatic
wire advance working and then let the jig do all the hard work!  ...
Anyway, I will keep you posted on the results as they come in.

Mark
