Finally finished cutting and milling my Primaries and secondaries, gave them a cote of electrical insulating varnish, to help bind them. The primary cores weigh 3KG each, 12kg in total of laminated transformer steel. The secondaries a bit less.
Wire finally arrived, it was very hard to come by in a small quantity, ended up with 22kg on a reel. Size is 7mm x 2.5mm flat.
Must catch up on some work and then will strip G and wind again for maximum inductance to control the through current. Primaries will be of the same wire, for lowest possible DC resistance.

See You soon, Regards Cornboy.
