Wow. A thread dedicated to me! It has been pleasing to read the nice
comments from my fellow hams and builders.
When someone new to toroids is on the fence concerning the decision to wind
their own parts or use my service, I tend toward advising them to try their
hand at a few first. If it isn't
Hi Harvey,
I think the Toroid Guy offers an outstanding value. I can and have wound
Toroids and it ain't rocket science, but some of those little fellas are
beginning to challenge my aged dexterity and eyesight. Add that to the
confidence in his work and the money was (IMHO) well spent.

Since your kit comes with everything I'd recommend winding one or two
and see what you think. I agree with Dave that it's not hard, and for
me was also a very nice change of pace. Along those lines, once the rig
is built it's built forever. So don't rush. Take your time and enjoy

Michael is great! He is fast, effecient, and does a superb job on the toroids.
I wound my own on my first K2 and K1 - but I have found that when a schedule is

I have built one k2 and I did not want to wind my own toroids so I
bought them from the toroid guy I liked what I received and how they

and a set of toroids to put up in my closet to save for that day when I
can put it unbuilt

Has anyone used toroids from the 'Toroid Guy' to build a K2?
Many people have, including me when I built my second K2/100.
Are his wound better or neater than someone can do by hand (I assume his are
machine wound)?
Depends on your skill and patience, I suppose. They are very, very well
