Naaah, don't build one.  That thing sucks.  Those TCBFW only get 2 or 3 12
FOOT ARCS out of that Chicken Wire toroid at a time.  On top of the tiny
arcs, the thing only weights a couple of pounds.

Of course it works!  Actually, it ROCKS!  This is coming from one of the
guys who co-hosted the nations largest Teslathon last year.  I've also seen
several professional Tesla Coils put on similar shows with 80lb $1000+
toroids sitting on top.

No such thing as a cheap spun AL toroid.

        Currently I am building a 10inch coil and I was wondering about the
toroid, that I will need. I don't have the cash for a new spun aluminum
toroid and I was wondering if the toroid used on the Warthog coil is any
good(You know the wire thing!!).If anyone knows a better alternative or is
selling a spun aluminum toroid cheaply, email me at GBJSJG-at-AOL-dot-com.
