Welcome to the list Andreas.
This may be the best looking first coil I've ever seen! You must have a 
nice source for lexan or whatever material you're using. Beautiful 
craftsmanship. Are the toroid insulators (standoffs) capable of moving the 
toroid and/or corona ring up and down? Once you get the secondary wound and 
all the tid bits gathered and hooked up for first light, you may need to 
drop the corona ring down and possibly the toroid to keep the top of the 
secondary shielded and prevent premature breakout. These are some of the 
considerations to keep in mind as well as the ability to raise and lower 
the secondary when tuning in the coils.

Again, excellent work! Wish you the best on incredible sparks!
Take care,
Bart
