One thing on that "baby hair" wire is scratching off the red enamel coating so you can get a good solder connection to the lug. You have to do a thorough job or when you solder you won't get continuity. Do too good of a job, and you'll break off the end of the wire. It's even harder to do the end after you've done the windings. I wound up putting a piece of scotch tape around the winding until it was soldered to hold it in place.

I got mine pretty close but there were a couple of tiny gaps in my windings too. It didn't seem to matter a great deal. I think the number of windings is more critical.
