Sarcastic?
In what way? The way I look at tesla coiling is "if it works...then use it" 
I'm just an experimenter, just like you, and I use what I have around me. 
Since most people wouldn't want to spend countless hours winding their own 
transformers (though I do love to customised trannies...) or running out 
and dropping $300+ on a PIG...I figured their must be another way. And sure 
enough..there is. end of story.
oh...I'm well aware of how a "good" high voltage transformer is 
made...thank you!

I respect everyone on this board. I'm inspired...thats all. Take care.
