Well... I guess I'll just get a flat 4" PVC pipe cap, and put a bolt 
up through the center through my base......and then have the 
secondary wire go through the side through a small hole?

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?
