Nick, you have NOTHING to worry about. Coils are simple. Yes, they
can be time consuming when you get something with a bunch of winds on
it, but it is not hard at all. It just requires some concentration
("did I just put wind 29 or 30 on? Shoot! time to count again!"). The
only thing you really need to watch when winding is that you don't
get the wire under a previous turn. Again, this is not really a
problem on up to about 15 turns, but going over that you have to look
closer.
Don't let anybody scare you into thinking coil winding is hard. I
find it one of the most fun parts of kit building.

I am just starting on my K2 and feeling apprehensive about coil
winding - never having wound a toroidal coil.My inclination is to
wind them myself rather than give way and buy a set. It all looks
straightforward in the instruction manual. Would welcome
encouragement or cautionary advice.
