Justin,
Welcome to the list. Usually newbies like to build a rather small
coils to become familiar with them. Probably a good idea.
A nice coil can be built at low cost if you want to. NST's or OBIT's
can be obtained free or cheaply, caps can be MMC's of minimal cost,
The secondary can be made from PVC pipe. No need to coat it
or anything for a small coil. The primary can be 12awg PVC insulated
house wiring type, but this is a little inconvenient to make tap points.
The spark gap can be made from pipes or flat pieces of metal.
A multiple static gap is best for simplicity. Nothing has to be
fancy or precise. Computer programs such as Bart's JavaTC or
other programs are useful for figuring how many primary turns
you'll need, etc.
My website which gives some other TC information is at:
