its pretty simple theory, take two dielectric layers (i.e. extremely thin plastic) and layer them between two foil layers like so- --- being plasticwrap/thin wax paper/other //// being foil ------------------------------------------ /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ------------------------------------------ /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// and stagger pin/tape one end of each to a paper towel roll, dowel rod or other non conductor. make a connection to each layer of foil and roll the layers into a tight spool. it will take a lot of foil and dielectric but when it just fits inside the bucket it should measure in the full farad ranges (a pair of cofee cans in oil measures about 0.125F
