Brian-

What you are describing sounds fine. If the wire was the exact length needed
for the finished product, it would be tough getting a handle on it as you
approached the last of the turns. I leave the leads close to 1" on the
toroids I provide in my prewound sets, but in most cases 3/8" will easily
suffice. As with the wire length, a little extra doesn't hurt <G>.

Incidentally, Elecraft supplies sufficient enameled wire in their kits, even
if you make a few mistakes and have to do some reworking, so don't worry
about running out.
