[sdiy] Enameled wire

[Scott Gravenhorst]

I wound coils for radio equipment when I was a kid.  I did it with emery
paper or light sand paper.  I don't know that I ever got it all off either. 
If I could solder it and the project worked, I was happy.  It wasn't a lot of
fun, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
