Recommend you don't pet the cat --- hairs in the winding and always wear 
plastic paint gloves when handling the coil parts, wire, insulation, etc. 
The sodium salts on your hand are highly conductive and a sodium laced 
fingerprint provides an excellent opportunity for corona to form where you 
don't want it --- inside the sealed coil.

And, God, keep the neighbors away from your coil winding sessions. heh heh

In a lathe they can be wound in a about a minute, but I made this page for
people who may not have one and will likely be making one for the first time
with a few distractions.

Even this hand-winder can make a coil in about 15 minutes.  I was watching
Borat, drank a bottle of Czech beer, a cup of coffee (seen in the photos),
ate a bowl of cherries (not seen in the photos), pet the cat a few minutes,
and was taking pictures more of less simultaneously and very casually on a
Sunday morning.

At least once I took the dog out for a pee, spent about 10 minutes talking
to our Lesbian neighbours (about our other Lesbian neighbours), and gave a
local stray cat some catnip and a toy mouse to play with.  I assume that the
average Tesla Coiler will engage in at least one or more of these activites
on a normal Sunday morning.  If not, I strongly suggest that every Tesla
Coil builder engages in at least one of these activities while winding a
Pancake Coil on a Sunday morning...Otherwise it just won't work properly,
will it?
