Can you attach a readable version of the main schematic here please?

Nice work BTW.

Just click them small i at the corner of the image that appears when the mouse hovers the schematic. I'd still recommend Steve Ward's sstc 5 driver, unless you cannot obtain some of the parts locally. (I couldn't)

Does you schematic work? I thought you had to have a GDT because Q1 and Q2 dont have a common source?

Looks nice.

Edit:
Sorry, I just looked up ir2110 and it has a floating channel just for that type of usage.
I think I will order a few of those drivers ;)

Regardless of it working, I suggest you to use a gate drive transformer if you can, as it provides galvanic isolation. Whats the advantage?

-Since MOSFETS fail closed, if it blows, the IR2110 and possibly something else will also blow.
-The 12v and 5v supply have to come from a transformer; no ATX supplies referenced to ground.

So... why did I did it?

-I couldn't find the UCC chips Steve Ward used
-I couldn't find a ferrite toroid and I suck dismantling those ATX transformers without breaking them.
