Since your kit comes with everything I'd recommend winding one or two and see what you think. I agree with Dave that it's not hard, and for me was also a very nice change of pace. Along those lines, once the rig is built it's built forever. So don't rush. Take your time and enjoy every

I highly recommend The Toroid Guy and his Toroids! I've used his services quite a few times and always have received excellent service and perfect Toroids! He wounds them by hand without a machine! Really saves a lot of time, too. It's good to wound some Toroids yourself, just for the
