You know you're a coiler when...

I had the idea a few weeks ago to post this question to the list. The results were hilarious. Here is what TCML members had to say...

• Your nose can pick up the scent of ozone from a mile away.

• Big valve wheels at the local chem plant look tempting enough to steal for your new variac stack.

• You enter Dunkin' Donuts and think, "Toroids! Toroids!"

• Every time you see a flat bed truck loaded with utility transformers, you start dreaming of ways that you could hijack the truck and get away with it.

• You use more thoriated tungsten than an average TIG welder.

• Every piece of unused utility pipe lying on the side of the road, makes you think about a new project.

• You have friends over to see your picture albums and you pull out pictures of power sub stations and high voltage towers.

• The most common response you receive from everyone after a demo is "Well, what is it good for?"
