Jerry,

I have built coil forms using the design of Chris Chapman. I use .062"
circuit board material without the copper layer. I cut out the shapes with a
saw and use a Dremel tool to cut slots as needed and use epoxy to bond it
all together.

In years past, I had difficulties in finding a "manual" coil winder and
ended up with an old fashioned had drill.  (As you know, you have to search
using the correct words or your mouth pursed just right to be successful.)

 

Anyway, that hand drill is what I ended up with.  The EBay choices shown by
Barry are interesting.  Thanks, Barry.

 

Never-the-less, in past, I had more trouble finding proper shaped ready-made
spools or bobbins 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 without satisfaction.

 

If anyone knows the secret to building a rectangular form, materials & glue,
I'd appreciate knowing it.

 

Regards,

Jerry
