 Hi all!
 Well, I'm a proud owner of a sparkgap [a nice one at that too] and a 24"
 secondary coil... y'know - even if the coild doesn't work, at least it will
 look nice :)
 
 Anyway- for my primary, I have made up some HDPE supports, and drilled them
 appropriately. I was wondering if anyone has some advice for how to wind
 the 1/4" piping through with a minimum of fuss [I tried it the other day,
 got to about the 6th turn and had to unwind it...]
 
 It is a 16 turn archimidian coil.
 
 Thanks again, Simon

Simon,

There is a lenghty discussion on this subject on my web page.  First clue is 
not to try winding it through holes in the support forms.  It needs to be 
layed in to slots or notches cut into the forms.  Web page is:
