Alright,

Very sorry to be posting all of these problems and then fix them and reply 
yet again! But my phasing and paralleling problems are solved, and the arc 
from these transformers are awesome.  I can get about a 3/4" arc thats about 
a cm thick with the flame all around it.  I found that the primaries had to 
be wired out of phase for some reason.  Oddly when the primaries were in 
phase, only one half would phase ok, but when the primaries were out of 
phase, they could both work ok.  Also i wrote that it could barely arc the 
1/2" gap, well that was because it was arcing through the base of the 
jaccobs ladder (wood) through 2 layers of carpet, and into the conctrete 
floor in my garage!  There are soo many burn marks now since many times i 
over estimated wire insulation, and to my surprise it would arc through the 
insulation and through the carpet to the floor leaving a seroius burn mark 
:(
