Nick, I wound my own a year and a half ago. The diagrams in the manual are very clear in showing the direction of the windings. Follow them exactly as in the diagrams. If the wire exits from the top on the left and underneath on the right, make sure yours does. If it's inverted, turning the toroid over won't fix it - it's still wound incorrectly. I wound all my toroids in one evening while sitting with my wife watching the television, looking ahead in the manual to find them, labelling them with a piece of clear adhesive tape on the end of a lead. I really appreciated the continuity of building without having to wind a toroid when it was ready to be soldered in.
