I felt this was the single most important decision I
did - when I built K2 # 5422. If one is the least
tired, or rushed - and trys to wind an important L
toroid - good luck! Screwing just 1 up - will cause
you all sorts of troubleshooting time. And mis-wound
toroids may give you a K2 that may never really stack
up among the best performers.
Well...Mr Toroid Guy does a good job and his toroids are very neat. But
this makes it sound like winding them requires special skill or is very
critical. Not so! Just remember that each pass through the hole is one
turn, try to space the windings as explained in the instructions, and
strip the leads properly.
Even if they don't come out as neat as they might, they will work fine
if you follow the instructions. This is absolutely not rocket science
or voodoo, and not too hard either!
