Looks great.  I would really like to build my own slim style pickup (really any pickup, but slim seems to work so much better on neck thru design).  I have been to the great Elmar's site and stuff looks great, as does this one.  I read in the comments here about alot of references to parts of the building of this, but for someone who has never made a pickup, seems hard to follow discussion enough to try my own build.  Is there a step by step, with pics, explanation anywhere to making pickups?  I read about "north up, x ohms, magnets in teh middle etc," but never quite understand.  thanks everyone.

Looks nice Patrick.

There must be magic in that Sheep Cheese Elmar lol I don't believe the local grocery has that here in Nebraska :-)

These flat pickups ya'll make are quite amazing gentlemen!

tin plated cans (which formerly contained sheep cheese from Denmark to be exact :-)

No that's a different more conventional pick up

Ah, now I see that the steel is sticking out at the top!

Just sanded smooth I did think of that prior to winding, should be good only time will tell.

did you protect the edges with tapes or so? In the beginning, some of my coils were damages due to the sharp ends. They shortcutted
