Nice rendering, I especially like the wood grain!

I see that you were planning on two pairs of gaps in series.  This will
increase the gap losses somewhat, and I'm not sure that anyone has shown an
actual quenching-benefit (particularly when breakout occurs) to having a
series configuration.

One more thing - beware of the tendency for surface arcing between the
front and rear electrode supports at the base, particularly if the corners
are sharp as illustrated.

First off, I want to thank you all again for the great help.  I couldn't
have gotten as far as i've gotten with all of you!!!

Anyways, I've finished a rough model of my synchronous spark gap.  If you
have time, would you be able to take a look at it and see if there is
anything you don't like or what I could do to make it better?

Note that spark gap distances, electrode distances aren't adjusted yet.
Just a rough model.
