Very cool....
Only thing I would suggest is to maintain a margin at the start and finish of each winding layer...since you do not have any creepage distance... so the OT could arc over on transients.. Another method is to run 1/2 tape width on the wall and other portion on winding layer , creating a "corner" with the tape...this allows wall to wall winding width with proper creepage... The winding the way it is now would not pass EU or UL requirements...

Thanks for your comment and suggestion. yes, I did left a little margin. I need to save some space for copper too. I have no arc over problem for my past 30+ years of transformer winding, but indeed, extra care are always needed for some high power/ high voltage tubes, such as 211, 845 etc, IMHO ,at least few 8mm per side are left empty.
Most of my hand wound OPT will vacuum-soak in either transformer lacquer, or wax. I seldom used transformer oil for opt though.
I will pot this with wax later.
Still enjoy hand-winding all my trans rather than using CNC winding machine.
