Some first coil questions

I have decided to go with a 4" diameter secondary for the increased 
inductance over a 2" pipe which was my initial plan.

My Pipe will be a nice washed, sanded and coated PVC pipe. What do 
you guys do for the secoundary coil's wire that should be attached to 
RF ground? how do you fashion this wire so that its clean and away 
from the primary coil? I was thinking of making a small circular 
table and have the pipe go down through about 4 inch and have the 
beginning of the secondary coils wire go through a hole in the 
pvc...down the pipe and have a thicker wire going through a cap at 
the bottom......and then hook that to RF ground....Im not sure.

What do you guys do in construction for hooking up the bottom lead of 
the secondary coil?
