I have never seen so much awesomeness in one thread. Well done to all the Coil Builders

Awwww... i have to get my game waaaaay up. You cats are true artists in this thread. Very much inspired to do good looking builds now.
Only been building a few weeks... Not yet keen to show it off here yet.
Wow. Amazing work. Great thread

First time using clapton, came out pretty nice on my Mutation
Was a bit stressed so I twisted some wire to ease the nerves. 
My first attempt at staged Claptons... will put them in the Tsunami pending your approval...

First staged Claptons in the Tsunami. WIN. These things kick like nobody's business wow.
Thanks for the inspiration everybody!

This looks really nice. Is there a tutorial on how to build this?

The coil is called a braidator and there are tutorials on the internet. These are difficult to do, as you have to keep the wire in the middle of your braid while braiding the external three or five wires around it. I would suggest to go with the three loop braid to start off with.
Been playing around with my coil making, first try came out pretty nice @.14ohm
Can I ask what gauge wire are you using to braid with?
That coil looks sick!

For braided wire I guess you can use 28, 30 and 32 Gauge wires, any smaller and it becomes a handful to control.
Sorry Keith, I must disagree! I like to do slentre braids, which have one or more cores. I use up to 38g (I need to get finer), but 34g produces a nice result! I feel that anything bigger produces fat and ugly results, because the wire cannot turn around itself as tightly.
I use a Noisey Cricket on the daily, so I need to achieve higher resistances. I have used 3x28g in a 34g 5 loop on the last picture I posted. The first pic I posted is 4x32g cores in a 38g braid. They normally come out at 0.35Ω
On a regular setup, using 32g is cool. And I also like to use 24g cores. 4 wraps come out at 0.15/0.14Ω.
I am #teamsinglecoil and don't really do duals.

The reason braiding is so easy is because you use finger loops to do it. I hope you've checked YouTube. Build Mode has the video that helped me understand the process. It's not a matter of holding a thin-ass wire, you just hook the loops using the active finger (the one that does the hooking, alternating as you go) and so the thickness of the wire makes no difference in the difficulty of the braid. HOWEVER, the finer the wire, the longer the braid will take, as each respective braid in the chain is going to be smaller and closer, and so will make up less length of the final chain than a thicker wire's braid.
Did a few builds for a fb comp over the last few days. Here are my favourites
Did a stitched alien tonight, felt brave and got it on the second try.

As to all of the above: DAMN.
The staged fused claptons look sooooooo killer
