Matt,
I have run a secondary 

http://www.geocities-dot-com/teslamanuk/temp/coil1.jpg

off a 2/1000 (MOT) and it works fine (the wire is 44AWG). Secondary wire can
be many different thicknesses but for a 15/60 I reckon you could get away
with 44AWG, never mind 26! I wind my coils so they have between 1000 and
1500 turns on them - ive never had a secondary burn out on me becase of
current :). Try to get the coil so it's diameter ios about 1/4 to 1/6th of
the wound length, eg a 6" by 24" winding is perfect. I use AWG26 for coils
that are shorter than about 30"

Should I
