Materials

1. 1 spool of 22 gauge solid magnetic wire
2. Wire cutters
3. Electrical tape
4. Multimeter
5. Power source (batteries)

Creating an extension wire for the forward lead

Cut an approximately three and a half inch section off from the spool of magnetic wire. If the magnetic wire is enamel coated then the enamel from each end must be removed to ensure a good connection.

Attaching Extension wire to forward lead

Now that the enamel has been removed from all ends, take one end of the extension wire and bend it into a hook, this hook shouldn't comprise of any more than a half an inch. The lead that protrudes from the center of the spool is the forward lead. Bend the forward lead into a hook. Hook together the hooks of the forward lead and the extension wire.--SeanShriner (discuss • contribs) 20:56, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Hook the end hooks together and cover with a piece of electrical tape.

Finishing the coil

Make sure the extension wire then bends along the spool. Take a piece of electrical tape and place it over the interlaced hooks and the piece of the extension wire running along the spool.
