Sorry for the delay. Here are some pics:eg:
Here's a video of my kit-built medium sized coil.
Currently it's missing a toroid cause I put it on my bigger coil
This is the big one. Other than buying the secondary off ebay this was entirely DIY work. I fired it up briefly and it was insanely cool, but I turned it off after like 10 seconds cause of the sparking problems. Since then I've done a lot to improve it. It has a small bucket thing around the bottom of the secondary and I have the primary going around this. I filled in the 1 inch gap between the bucket walls and the secondary with melted wax. Also I heavily taped the exposed primary with like 1/4 inch of electrical tape and added some other barriers to deter the sparks. I haven't had a chance to test it again though cause I've been waiting for the snow to melt outside. No way I'm firing this up indoors with computers and stuff around it.
