Hi John,
You should be fine. Take your time and enjoy the build.

Finish the one K2 before you start the other. It'll go a whole lot 
smoother when you know what to expect.

Also, I'd recommend you consider getting pre-wound toroids from Mike 
Morohovich ( 412) 481-2349 toroidguy at earthlink.net. Toroids aren't much 
fun, and if the enamel isn't properly removed, any poor connections can 
lead to all sorts of grief.

Cheers, Alan
