Hey Steven...

the leaning curve for T-Coiling is steep huh ?  ;) ....

depends on what type of homemade caps you are using...    rolled, plate, etc...

I have a Xcel sheet designed to find out cap size but you have to input a 
few parameters...


attached is the file

hope this can be found in a temp directory Terry will set up for it   ( 
HINT HINT TERRY !!! )  ;)
