Jeff:

    How many turns and what wire size?  Couldn't quite read the label on 
the wire spool [most of mine have been dropped like that and the ends 
buggered up] but think maybe it was #26.  What was the operating 
frequency and what did you excite it with to get those nice hot sparks?

    I've had trouble with trapped air in paraffin wax even when I've 
heated it carefully and gotten rid of all visible bubbles.  Have you 
managed to prevent this/  Can't tell from pictures.

    This is getting interesting - feeling the urge to build.
