Re: winding the primary?

MIKE-
 For the *perfect* primary see the link below. Many people use this method
but never bother to describe it in detail. There's not much to it, but it
requires a band saw and a drill press. I don't have either of those tools
(yet) so I'm going to make my primary coil at school. A rotozip (spiral saw)
in a router table with a hand drill might work alright, but it's best not to
improvise too much. Good luck.
