Okay, I've always thought of myself as a capable do it yourselfer. Years of 
experience with woodworking, metal fabrication, etc.  But tonight when I 
tried to place the .25" copper tubing in my form, for my primary coil, all 
my previous experience went out the window and I turned into some kind of 
greenhorn with two hands that were all thumbs. GOD there has to be an easy 
way to accomplish this task.  Would someone be so kind as to tell me how 
this can be accomplished without totally screwing up the roll of copper or 
without the use of drugs. LOL
All advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  I started out 
trying to feed the tubing through the holes in my supports but quickly 
found out that wouldn't work.  I then cut the support in half along the 
centerline of the holes thinking this would ease the problem and that then 
I could fasten the upper half back down to hold everything in place. This 
isn't working either since you cant keep the individual turns in place 
while you try and place the other turns.

Thanks,
