I like your page, and I in fact used your method for staggering the holes 
when making my primary supports.  It worked great!

However, as far as securing the primary tubing to the supports goes, 
another cool method that I learned from someone's website which I 
can't remember, is as follows:

After you've drilled your holes in the primary supports, you have to 
cut off the top to fit in the tubing.  Instead of bisecting the holes, 
and then screwing the top piece back on, or ziptying the tubes in, you 
cut off only about 1/3 of the holes.  Then you just snap in the 
tubing.  Here's a primitive ascii picture:

Hi all,
My less-than-flashy tutorial for building a copper-tubing primary coil has 
been updated to include pictures of the way the copper is held to the 
slats, top and bottom, and also a picture of the completed coil.
It's at http://www.logicsouth-dot-com/~ntesla/primary.htm 
Have a great day!
Dan
