My home-brew capacitor discharge spot welder.

Can anyone share with me the voltage and capacitance target for a home built machine? I've built several capacitive discharge circuits for small handheld ceramic magnet rechargers so i have a handle on the circuit. The problem is my machines were 330v and 3,800uf and I've a feeling the new machine will be low voltage, high capacity.
