Go to a Home Depot and buy a couple of braising rods, they work perfect......... bend a circle in each end with needle nose pliers...... build a wood box, put the transformer in it and drill two holes in the top about a inch apart...... take two small bolts and attach the braising rods to the box....... wrap each wire from the transformer to the bolts and use a second nut to attach them....... bend the braising rods into a perfect V and you have your Jacobs Ladder.
/note.... you need a strong transformer to make a Jacobs Ladder, a beer sign transformer won't work unless you use small gauge wire (bailing wire for instance) and the spark will only go up about a foot.......
