Make sure you don't become a dead Doctor.
I recommend you try and scare up a neon or two, and build your first
coil that way. You'll learn lots. And it is amazing how fast
a pig can kill you.

[Not to mention that its easier to learn at low power, where a mistake
is less likely to start a fire, or otherwise destroy equipment.]
