Luke,

I suggest reading a paper I wrote titled, "How I Design my Tesla Coils."
It
gives a brief explanation on how simple it is to design coils using some
of
the free
software available etc...  I was planning on writing an entire
collection of
papers on different tesla coil building subjects, but I just haven't had
the
time.

You can find this paper here.  (PDF document)
