 Does it matter what size pvc you use? I have 2 ft of 3/4 i found in my
 basement and am wondering if it will work?

Mike,

I guess it depends on what you want to do with it.  3/4" diameter pvc will 
make nice water pipe but not much of a Tesla coil.  For a small coil, you 
probably want to start with something like 3.0" diameter and maybe 15" long 
with a 13" winding length.
