Hello Jan,
Impressive looking work. I hope that it works so that all of your effort is worthwhile. Nice use of a lathe as a winding jig. I especially like your use of the apron to feed the wire. I used my lathe to wind a secondary but without using the apron to feed the wire. Very tedious.

Subject: [TCML] My home built pig, pictures
Hi, there was a request for pictures of my home built pig, here it is
https://photos.app.goo.gl/1veXfqtzqGanxEWm9
Weight of core is about 55 kg, and copper weight around 20 kg. Right now I
am drying out the paper insulation with 230 V on the secondary and shorted
primary, about 100 W of heating. The panel instrument on the front shows the
temperature of the winding. When dry I will fill the transformer oil and
seal the unit.
No telling yet if it will work, I cant test until I have made the ballast.
But I have tried to design it according to the specs used for distribution
transformers.
Jan
