I have seen many pictures on various pages of people drawing sparks to
metal
objects they are holding on to. At what frequency of operation is this
safe,
and how  did you ever get up the guts to try it ? I know the primary
side
can kill, but according to skin effect formula (which I can't find right
now) at 170kHz the current is only .06" deep. 

Thanks,
Shawn
