Just a note on Twisted Bifilar windings, when building my K2 and some other
stuff, I found my old hand drill, (with the crank on the side), works ideal.
I simply put a screw eye in the chuck, put the wires through the screw eye
and attach the other end of the wires to a vise. It makes it easy to get
uniform, even twists of the wire and you have direct control as you crank.
Obliviously you should not try this with a power drill, or even a power
screw driver as you want to be able to slowly make the twist of the wire to
control the turns per inch.
