Here at mass-art we have a hot shop. If I were going to run my coil in 
there I might try to ground my coil on one of the annealing kilns. 
Unplugged of course.

The thing I do when I run the coil in the foundry is connect it to one of 
the large steel tables. Then run a length of copper wire from it way out 
the back door and across the yard to a somewhat ok earth ground. Works like 
a champ.
In my experience a LONG cable cord or wire from the coil out to a good 
ground still works fine. I seem to remember a conversation about this sort 
of thing some time back.
The idea was that the secondary is a great power transmitter. High voltage 
at high frequency at goodly power. Shouldn’t be a problem to use a long 
line for the ground connection.

You can look into counterpoises too…. That is what the kiln would be I guess.
