Ah, when I was around 9 I had a mentor that liked teaching me odd
things and one of the things he tought me was how to hand file a
machine thread on a length of drill rod (moderately soft easily
hardened steel rod) using an entering file (one of a set of
files called riflers)! The mentor was kind of like a Mr. Meyage,
san "Karate Kid", only he was slovic like myself, and was teaching me
to use my mind better, instead of teaching karate. But this is all
off topic to this list! If you want to continue in private, it's fine
with me.

Sounds like an expensive way of doing it! I mean here you go and
spend extra for two wires to be stuck together and then you go and un
stuck them!

I understand! One of my professors, taught both pre-Calc and Calc 1
always preached: "Plug in easy numbers" and I agree!

Yea, but it ain't cheap!

Now your makeing my mouth water! I thought about makeing a capacitor
using teflon but never reaky thought about using it to wind the coil
with.
