I used a drill press and a wooden jig. The jig was basically a flat 
piece of wood with some 1/2" square rails nailed parallel to each 
other with the spacing such that the large PVC tube does not rest on 
the bottom piece of wood. (hopefully that makes sense). I made sure 
that the top of the tube was cut perfectly square with the sides so 
that I could use a metal square to draw lines down the side of the 
tube. I then experimented with the spacing of these lines so that I 
got approx 20 mils between each copper tube when mounted. To make 
things easier drill the holes 50% larger so that you can adjust the 
copper pipes when you mount them. Victor --- On Wed 05/17, Tesla list

Hello List Members
Does anyone have any suggestions or know any tricks as fare as
drilling the pipe sections and pvc pipe so that the segments are
evenly spaced and plumb
inside the pvc when bolted in.
Thanks in Advance
