?  Piece of cake. Use a 10mm to 25mm coil form.  Drill a small double 
hole for the wire lugs to secure the winding.  To make solder lugs, bend 
18-20ga buswire into two small U shapes and insert them from the inside 
of the form.  Bend the wire over from the outside with needle-nose pliers 
to form two small loops that function as solder lugs;.  One loop is for 
the winding.  The other loop is for soldering a wire to connect with the 
circuitry.  Solder the beginning of the winding to one lug.   Wind a 
single layer of approx #24 type-W silicone-varnish electric-motor 
rewinding wire.   Use no more than 60uH or you are going to have pesky 
resonances / choke-fires in the ham bands.  Apply urethane varnish
