I was hoping to run this coil last weekend, but rain and wind said "no". We
have sleet forcast for the next couple of days, so next weekend looks crappy
too. I'm staying inside where it's warm and building my first "real" power
cabinet. . . got tired of dragging the varics and welders across the garage
floor every time I wanted to run.
Soon as we get some moderate weather I'll be snapping some photos of big
sparks. Oh yes, I've decided that maybe my luck was very good, and I'm
adding a choke, bypass and safety gap to my transformer! I might not be so
luck next time.
