Now you tell me!

Three nights ago I spent over half an hour winding 1000t of 28AWG on a resin
impregnated paper tube former (using a lathe).

When I finished and had taped up the end I went to remove the coil from the
end stock, fumbled it, and dropped the coil onto the lathe bed.

Due to one seconds carelessness this coil is now useless as 4 turns in the
middle of the coil are dented to the point of being shorted together.

The swearing I did would have made a sailor blush.
