My favourite 2 sites are Terry's site (http://www.hot-streamer-dot-com) and
Richie Burnett's Site (http://www.richieburnett.co.uk). They are both
excellect sites, and have information for beginners to experts.

Next step is to find a capacitor or capacitors. I reccomend going for the
MMC configuration - lots of small commercial capacitors connected in series
/ parallel arrangements to make one large capacitor. A supplier of such caps
is the geek group (chris, insert web page for caps here :).

Remember, your 15/30 NST is a dangerous piece of kit - it will burn you,
shock you and probably kill you if you come into contact with the terminals
during operation. Always power down before adjusting, and get into good
habits, like shorting out your capacitor after running it, keeping one hand
in your pocket, that sort of thing. Oh, and get a variac - they're VERY
useful for slow startups when looking for problems.
