Hi guys and gals. 
Yes, I'm one of the ones to try this inside winding. It starts on cardboard, 
that has one layer of LDPE plastic sheet to stop the wire from sticking, 
then the wire wound on and painted with epoxy paint, then fiberglass with 
one cloth layer of glass. Then spray the cardboard with water and tear it out. 
Looks very nice so far. This large coil should be ready for the So Cal 
Teslathon if there is going to be one this year. This pig powered TC is kind 
of different in that it will run with both coils under oil. Also it will have 
a variable 
trimmer cap made with old LP records half covered with foil. (the trimmer is 
done and works without arcing at 15KV) Can't wait to put it all together and 
put some power to this thing but WORK has been kicking my butt as the 
747 schedule has gone up and will go up even higher. I will write a full 
statement of actions as soon as it's all wired up and first light occurs.
