Indeed that is a small looking spool of wire, but remember, he is not
using a typical wire gauge for a secondary that size.  I would guess
he is using 30awg or smaller, which is why you cant see the wire in
the picture.  When you start using super fine wire, you will find that
what appears to be a small amount will in fact cover quite a bit of
coil.  Sort of like taking a small amount of paint and spreading it
super thin to cover the greatest amount of area.
