Hi Mike,

Now that is beautiful! Way to go! I think if it could sink enough 
thermally, it should be capable of some relatively high power coils. The 
brass is perfect for machining and looks great, but it isn't a good 
heatsink. I can "envision" the same length of brass round stock machined 
for insertion of the electrodes, but instead of the long brass solid 
cylinder, milling (or drilling) out from the inside end, a hole up to 
about the threaded electrode area to increase the heat-sink capability 
of the brass stock (and maybe even after that, cutting slots through 
this new "cylinder"). The increase of surface area is really helpful for 
thermal dissipation. But, your probably blasting enough air that you 
have found a stabilized temperature that works for you.

That is certainly a pretty design and very practical. What type of 
trigger circuit are you using?

Take care,
Bart
