Re: [TCML] secondary coil form
Wound dry, then multi-coats of Minwax marine spar
varnish after winding. IIRC, I used a vari-speed drill
chucked on a 1/2" dia. length of all-thread, onto which
the coil's end caps were affixed to. Adjusted drill motor
speed with a variac.

Thanks, David,
I didn't know about duct PVC tubing. Sounds ideal. Did you wind the
wire into epoxy or wind it on "dry", and did you varnish the coil
afterwards?
If I get the kind of performance in your videos, I'll be mondo happy.
Then I'll have to find a good name for it. After twenty years it
deserves some respect.
Thanks for the good information.

PS--By the way, an ice cream freezer motor makes a really good winding
drive.
