I've tried a "simple" triple core fused build at least a half dozen times and CANNOT keep the cores aligned. With a swivel, without a swivel, different gauges, tried putting less tension on the wrap wire, taping the cores at various intervals, and it just won't happen. I can't get further than a half inch from the chuck. Eventually I gave up, let the cores collapse, and tried the hammer method. I only get an inch or two in before I come across a spot that simply won't line up.
I've searched youtube and google thoroughly and the closest thing I can find to a tutorial is on triple core aliens, which didn't say much about keeping the cores aligned, mostly focused on the wrap. I want these coils badly, I just can't get the job done. I'd prefer to do it without a hammer, but I'll be happy with any method that does the trick. I will be eternally grateful to anyone who can provide some advice and help make this happen.
