Hey Matt...

I did learn alot about building home made caps   flat cap, layered 
caps, rolled caps, even went as far as taking apart one of those big 
box caps found on the telephone poles to make a homemade cap.  They 
all worked, but for only a few minutes to a few hours each before 
becoming too filled with carbon like soot to be "rebuilt".

Considering the money I spent in the process of "learning" I could 
have bought 2 sets of Maxwells for my coil :)~  MMC's were not 
thought of yet when I bought my Maxwells...

just trying to give some words of "wisdom" to those on a tight 
budget...  once they get the coil running and have funds left over, 
then try some learning the hard way as alot of us did...
