It has been said many times here, and I can attest to feeding though holes
and having the copper become hardened and unwieldly. I tried to do this with
a 15 pitch as well and ended up cutting out the slots and cursing the
tubing. It is suggested the tubing comes out of the box and is laid down on
the coil form with as little bending as possible.

Just to be clear - you're not planning on drilling holes in the supports
and threading the tubing *through* the holes, right? Trying to thread
copper tubing through holes - even over-sized one - will make your crazy
and make a mess of the tubing. Instead, you need slots in the radial
supports, as pictured here: http://www.laushaus.com/tesla/primary.htm
