Nope - Don't worry about the toroids. The K1 manual is excellent - has drawings and very clear explanations.
I actually think winding toroid is fun! I don't get what all the hllabaloo is about. As far as tinning the leads - the way I do it is use an exacto knife to scrape off the insulation. I find it to be easier and more positive than the hot-solder method. In order for the solder method to work, the iron must be hot - hotter than I choose for actual soldering. If I can do it anyone can. 20-600 vision, thick bifocals, and colorblind to boot. Have fun!
