Why dont you try powering the coil with a car battery and letting it float at the grid voltage?

I’m working on one now, but ran out of money for more gas welding fuel. I’m also a bit chicken when it comes to using the oxy-mapp torch. I’m completely new to it and welding in general. I should have more of the grid finished in a couple weeks. Once finished it will be a while before I have enough equipment to even power it up.

Instead of dividing it into two with one nub, divide it into three with two nubs.

Can you send a drawing of “two nubs spaced apart”. not sure what you mean.

Better to use two nubs spaced apart and/or route them above the midline.
