Hi Frank,
         The only nusance is the guy that gets bad press for doing damage to
property, to himself, or to others because he won't ask questions. With #22
wire on a secondary, you're looking at 4" to 8" diameter coil. Successful coils
have been made by using 500-2500 turns on secondaries. Usually, a length
between 2:1 and 5:1 is both physically stable and aesthetically pleasing. 
Good Luck!
