Yeah, those microwave oven transformers most people use are death traps even for those who understand what they're doing.
I've just bought a 250,000v 50,000w power supply for X-rays and it's probably going to be another 3 months of weekends working on safely setting everything up before I'm even going to consider plugging it in.
These types of projects just aren't worth it unless you have a genuine need.

The magnificence and terror of electricity!!!
One day as a teenager, I was watching a worker from the electric company in the bucket of the cherry picker. For some reason he pulls out his tape measure and extends it up towards the transformer and then boom... He got hit so hard it kicked him out of the bucket and fell about 15ft.... Run across the street to him and had to give him chest compressions until he came too...

Microwave transformers are no joke, but one thing a lot of people miss is that you HAVE TO UN-BOND THE SECONDARY WINDING! Normally the secondary is NOT isolated from ground, it's bonded to the transformer core with a rivet. You have to cut that bond off and then you'll have SOME amount of isolation from 2400V at half an amp, albeit it will still often arc through the Kapton paper insulators and the winding insulation to kill you anyway if your path to ""isolated"" ground is low enough resistance. Best bet is a PLASTIC ammo can full of mineral oil with the terminals on opposite ends, and a power switch all the way over at the WALL PLUG so you can't turn it on while touching something hot.
Or get a transformer that doesn't put out the kinda crazy amperage a MOT does, or better yet, just DON'T RISK YOUR LIFE FOR A DANG PIECE OF WOOD.
