Why can't they not be made by hand ?

You can't do it properly by hand,if compared to a drill spinning the wire around the center for you.the inside wire, and wrapped continuously with whatever gague you wrap the outer with and your one hand will not be able to hold that while the other is spinning a softer wire around the single wire, or pair around it. It gets stabilised by a drill - then the othe wire is spun with the drill

LOL...sorry using a drill is handmade to me, but I understand what you saying.

I saw on you tube, some people pull out the centre piece of wire that they wrapped the outer wire around. Are you supposed to do that or do you leave the centre wire in?

If you clapton a #32 on a #32 core you need to use a high tensile guitar string because #32 kanthal is too soft and snaps under tension.
So once finished you slide the guitar string out and slip a #32 kanthal gently down the #32 tube...Tadaa!

Sounds like a good idea @blyjeenz. But does the 32g wire fit when you pull the guitar string out?

umm yes otherwise a rather pointless exercise.
#32 kanthal = 0.202mm
E 1st string = 0.25mm
