In all this excitement, I've lost count. Are all shots fired for this past round?

oh oh oh andddddddd I built my first coil tonite!!! Yes, I know I only wrapped some wire around a screwdriver, and stuck the ends under some screws.....but learnin all this stuff about it....getting the stuff to do it, and actually doing it is a huge deal for me! It came out to 2.5 (was shooting for about 2.0, but didn't have internet access when I was winding it up), so that was pretty close.
I know a kindergartner could have wrapped wire and put it under some screws, and my coil looks like it was a kindergartner did it but I'm still proud of it. Gonna save this one, try to do another one and actually wick the next one if I can get it looking a little better (lighting up better). I gotta get better at wrapping the legs around the screws without deforming the coil. Did the burn and pinch thing, and maybe doing that some more will help.....but for now I'm just happy I did one, and it works! lol I do feel like a bit of an idiot for being this excited about it.......but oh well lol
i don't want to say i'll never do something, but still, the last three times i got a new cell phone was because the usb charging port thing failed... heck, even my computers standard sized usb slots are finicky and i have to push up on them to read a flash drive... not saying it's "off the table", just some of my observations..
