Re: [TCML] Pictures of my Tesla Coil
Hi Bart,
Yup, age does catch up to us all, if we live long enough ;^)
I'm 45 now! Wow! Bart, I feel so honored to be mentioned
by you among such coiling giants as I sure don't feel that
I am anywhere near the caliber of any of those other indivi-
duals that you named. As far as first coils, I don't have any
images of mine to offer for the viewing entertainment of
the TCML and it's probably a good thing because I don't
think "ugly" is a sufficient adjective to describe my first at-
tempt at a coil back in the '80s! I suppose it would have
made for good comedy relief, though ;^))
Take care,
David

Hi Alan
I looked young then, but age has a way of catching up (I'm 43 now!). At
age 300 to 35, I was on the TCML between postings as my job required
major travel (Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Canada, and various other cities and
countries).
My first coil was "way" too large for a first coil. I didn't know jack
from the bean stalk at that time. I started collecting parts and
building before I found the TCML. When I found the TCML it was beyond
amazement realizing I was just one in a hundred doing the same thing.
Sure glad I found these guys before I tried to fire up my coil! I would
have been in a world of spark misery if it wasn't for the TCML and guys
like DC. Cox, John Freau, Gary Lau, Ed Sonderman, David Reiben, Terry
Fritz, Ed Wingate, Kurt Schraner, Jim Lux, Reinhard Buckner, Richard
Hull, Robert Stevens, Bert Pool, Bill Beaty, Malcolm Watts, Bill Wysock,
Bert Hickman, John Couture, Gerry Reynolds, Richie Burnett, and so many
others I could mention, but I probably should stop before I develop a
blood clot from good memories.
Take care,
Bart

At such a young age, it's good to see you started small, LOL.
