Perhaps this will help you buy some time to finish the painting?...:-)
If not, then I guess you will have to look at this as 'delayed

Just received email notice that it has shipped already! I thought it
would take a few days at least. I figured somebody out there had to
grab the master packing list and creatively stuff the box to my order.

My suggestion is to take a couple of days off before the K3 arrives to
do the repainting and repairs because when you have your K3 at home you
will have no time anymore for this. :-)

Stan,
That's brilliant, your strategy and patience brought the results in the
end. Please don't take offence, but I'm going to have to delete this
email now in case it ever falls into the wrong hands!!
Seriously, I've had my K3 (#980) now for over two years and I still like
it a lot. I've added

Stephen, I spent my career in business and negotiation is how things get

We want you to make a video of the dog repainting the downstairs, hanging the
ceiling fan and fixing the toilet. That was the tradeoff, right?

Fred,
This is not a problem with the powdered iron cores, but it is a problem with
ferrite cores - it is an abrasive material and when will have sharp edges,
just the nature of the beast - sort of like the fact that sissors are sharp
and often pointed. It is a characteristic of the material and n
Sounds like in this case - its the responsibility of
the kit vendor, or toroid supplier - to give you the
buyer - smooth, correctly built toroid cores. I
wouldn't tolerate using cores of any less quality,
than perfect. Why?

Michel,
That is a great tool, and I am certain many will appreciate it.
There is a technique that avoids the problem - and that is to form the wire
around the OUTSIDE of the core with a finger on each turn. By forming on
the outside, there is not as much need to pull the wire to tighten it. It

During the building of my K2 I was facing some troubles to wind toroids which

I would like to suggest you following trick which I used with success.
