I just finished building a cylinder static spark gap for my coil.  It was the
cheapest thing to make because i had all the parts around and just needed it to
test my new coil.  I will never ever  build another one like it.  They are
tedious and a pain in the end to put together.  Stay with the air blast spark
gaps.  Much simpler to build.  So worth the small extra cost and effort for
it.  Well, when i finish up this coil, I'll give it a start and hopefully
report no smoke or fire :-).
