Here is a great way to make either a mono or a stacked coaxial coil. Go to your local sewing supply shop and ask to see some embroidery loops.
These devices are like a circular clamp. They are designed to tightly hold cloth.
I simply cut some good quality paper craftboard or card into a long strip about three inches wide. Insert the craftboard into the hoop, glue the ends together and tighten the loop frame.
You now have a very nice coil former. Simply wind the coil gluing it as you go,
As a finishing touch make a pencil mark on the craftboard around the loop, remove the coil from the hoop and cut around the pencil line to remove the excess craftboard.
I have posted a picture of three different hoops.
The largest is 14 inches. They come in a lot of different sizes. The best part is that they are very cheap. They sell for just a few dollars a piece. OK girls, get winding, Dave. * * *
