You might consider sitting the core onto something smooth like you table surface when you wind it as it will slide much easier around. I wound the big double core on a curved support (so I could look into its *horizontal* hole). I found that way safer after it nearly slid off the table while winding it like in your pic. Its *very* heavy even when empty and you won't be able to catch it should it slide off the table. The smaller, narrower, cores are fine to wind as you show. I like your 'hoop', great find, and your wire loading tool looks a lot smarter than that wood dowel I used. When sticking on the paper radial marks to align the wire you only need that on the top as you can't see the bottom of the core anyway. Perhaps spaced lines around the outside of the core help to keep the wire straight. The roller on your 'pushing' tool might be a nuisance, I would have cut just a groove at the tip to exert maximum leverage. Have fun, I hope you have strong hands - you certainly will have them after this job
