Hi,

One thing that I would recomend that makes the winding a bit easier is to
have the spool of mag wire on a rod to so you can move it along as your
winding. Also as your winding keep the spot that the wire is coming off the
spool about an inch behind your current wind this will help to keep the
windings tight. A motor or a second person really helps too.
