There are quite a few tutorials out there on wrapping thread and varnishing. Takes a bit of getting used to but saves $ in the long run. Best of luck.
Considered that ... I saw a number of videos and it definitely looks not too hard ...

But then I realized that I'm not to good at figuring out what wire size the guide needed to be ... Information online doesn't offer a definitive sizing chart ...

I suspect there is some leeway for size selection, so I really can't go wrong if I give it a shot.
