(As you know, you hav= e to search using the correct words or your mouth pursed just right to= be successful.)=0AAnyway, that hand drill i= s what I ended up with. The EBay choices shown by Barry are interesti= ng. Thanks, Barry.=0A=0ANever-the-less, i= n past, I had more trouble finding proper shaped ready-made spools or bobbi= ns to wind a coil. And, if I tried to construct a rectangular shaped = form, I had trouble getting the sandwiched parts to stick together! I= suppose that I did not have the correct adhesive. I tried several wi= thout satisfaction.=0A=0AIf anyone knows the se= cret to building a rectangular form, materials & glue, I'd appreciate k= nowing it.=0A=0ARegards,=0A
