Nathan,

I haven't even met your parents - but I know I would like them.  Both of them 
sound very supportive of your new hobby.  Many years ago, my Mom helped buy 
most of the parts for my first Tesla coil.  She also used to take me to the 
the chemical supply store and sign for all the chemicals she bought for me - 
she was the best Mom you could want.
