[Elecraft] winding toroids

[Earl Ritchie]

I have wound quite a few coils and never tight enough to stretch the wire. 
However, I find the toroids supplied with kit # 4509 very sharp on the edges 
and the red wire especially easy to strip.  I didn't need any iron with a 
hot blob of solder to strip off the insulationas in the past
