Hi All!  
 
   Getting the regular stuff out of the way for a DC powered coil.  I got my
dual MOT supply properly phased (that was a pain in the butt!).  They differ by
a not-so-great amount, but it'll work fine.  
 
  I built the fullwave rectifier.  I used the method Justin Hayes suggested, a
sharpie marker to color in the traces. For something as simple as a rectifier,
it worked like a champ!  Much faster than rubbing down all those traces or
going to work to run off a design on the laser printer and then expose & etch
the light-sensitive board.  It's a little ugly, but what the hey, it works
awesome and only took about 2 hours total to make!

There's some construction of it and the finished product.   Comments,
suggestions, etc welcome.
