Here's how you do it without a table.
You probably want it in fractions because you have a ruler with fractions. Your ruler measures in something like 16ths, 32ths, 64ths, etc.
Multiply the decimal by that number, then round.
So, you had 25.061.
0.061* 16 = 0.976, round up to 1. So, the decimal is 1/16.
In that case, 0.061 * 64 = 3.904, round to 4, and 4/64 = 1/16, so you get no more accuracy measuring to 64ths.
For the other number, 0.755*16 = 12.08, round down to 12. 12/16 = 3/4. Once again, in this particular case, you get no more accuracy measuring to 64ths.

Okay, thanks. I guess the answer was pretty simple, but since I haven't wound one yet, I didn't realize there'd be enough turns for coil to go back and forth like that.

Okay, I've read a bit about pickup winding, and they're always really clear about how the process begins...
You start with winding the wire through an eyelet on the bottom, and you start winding the pickup on the bottom. That makes a lot of sense.
But what happens when you get to the end? I imagine something like this..
The wire has reached the top and now has to connect back to the bottom eyelet.
But what about that bit of wire on the right there? If it was tight, wouldn't it be very likely to break? If it was loose, wouldn't there be some unraveling of the coils?
Is there some standard solution to this?

volute
How necessary is a volute if the truss rod adjustment is on the body side of the neck?
4+2 Guitar Tuners?

I couldn't find individual tuners for sale at Stew Mac either.
I think someone here earlier recommended Warmoth, who sells individual tuners. I was planning on ordering from them, since I was planning on making a 7 string with 4+3 or 3+4.
