That makes a lot of sense. 12AWG wire is 2.05 mm diameter. The winding spac=
e is 45mm by 15mm. Maybe I can get 5 quad turns per layer by 6 layers or 4+=
 turns per layer and 7 layers for 30 total turns. If I am lucky, perhaps a =
few more.

Stretching the wire ahead of time so it's straight and binds tightly togeth=
er would be good to do. I can make a couple of wooden(or 3D printed) channe=
ls to hold the wires flat and together while I tape them, and slide them al=
ong as I tape.

Thanks, Bob

Rather than bundle the wire together before binding it I would try to
lay the four lots side by side and then bind it so it is a flat wide
strip. This will make it easier to wind on the core.
