Hi Nick, Gud luck with your K2...winding the coils is tedious but not difficult (in my opinion. Get yourself a good maginfying glass and recount the turns after you are finished. Allow yourself an a bit more length then when you cut the wire, you can also trim it later, you'll have plenty of wire to spare.
Building the rig yourself is a very satisfying process and this is part of it. If you are not happy with what you have done, you can always purchase the pre-wound coils later...but I think you'll be fine. One word of advice that I keep giving myself is that "this is a hobby" so have fun. Let us know what happens.
